Pros

Good boss. Nice people on team. Hard working colleagues. Strong mission.

Cons

Assignments continually change; gives impression leadership doesn’t know what direction to take. Flat. Many leaders been there too long. No promotions possible. Required in office 3 days a week regardless of strategic reasons. Many days go in and do online calls all day and leave. Waste of time commuting.
