Pros

The people, the work aligned with vision, values, and future possibilities to impact people in need, resources and rewards for employees. The thoughtfulness and engagement of those I work with.

Cons

I get very tired by end of day due to the pace and high expectations but that is collectively a good thing for me and the org.

Pros

Admire the people I work with and enjoy working with them. Work is challenging yet rewarding. Comp and benefits together are fantastic.

Cons

Work-life balance is fine, but don't come here expecting it will be handed to you. Instead, you have to own it and drive it and ensure your manager supports it. That said, it's a competitive place and it's difficult to differentiate your performance and advance by just "doing an OK job."
