Pros

Pays above market rates and great benefits

Cons

Management runs based 100% on optics. Don't use the capabilities of its employees and believe everyone who wants to be successful should have an MBA. Management fears loss of their bonus or jobs and show no conviction in their decisions. They have become yes men. Senior leaders give us nearly zero delegation of authority. When times get tough, they seize control form the top and don't feel the shame about misleading their employees.

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
