Pros

*Very inclusive of all types of people, and good at making people from all walks feel comfortable. *They make an effort to support their employees. *They rarely lay off or fire anyone without financial or other reasons.

Cons

*Lots of procedures and paperwork for everything, which tends to clog up some of the processes and slow down work. *Employees are often required to stay in their lane, preventing new skills being learned. *When they lay people off, they do so with no warning.

Pros

Pretty good benefits and some groups have management teams that really care about their people and work.

Cons

You can really feel the "everyone is replaceable" vibe from corporate, there is a ton of self-imposed obstacles to be able to bid for new work, and the decision makers appears to be more focused on short term gain rather than making strategic long-term decisions.
