Pros

Good work life balance and industry recognition.

Cons

People are hired at higher grades than others despite that having no examiner experience at all. Some managers are fantastic and some have unseen amount of turnover and this is overlooked by senior management.

Pros

The annual bonus is impressive, and the benefits are above average. It makes it easy not to notice many of the things that the company does not do well. Many of the people are well above average in their abilities.

Cons

The bureaucracy makes everything slow, painful and ends up being neither customer nor employee focused. Recent changes have left a significant number of employees reporting to new managers that don't know what to do with all of their new resources. There is now a lot of redundancy. I believe they are hoping for a lot of attrition so they can avoid layoffs. There is a lot of effort going into efficiency, i.e. cost reduction that makes it an uncomfortable place to be.
