Not what it used to be.

Pros

Pay and benefits. Some of the people I work with, or have worked with.That's about all I can say that's good about this company.

Cons

Although the pay is good, it hasn't increased relative to the work load. MBM principles are a joke. Do what I say, not what I do, mentality. Management from middle to upper, uses all the buzzwords frequently. No one holds them accountable for their actions. Don't talk to anyone in HR about any internal problems, they'll just sweep it under the rug and put a target on your back. You won't advance unless you're part of the "Good ole Boy/Girl" network.

Pros

The work is challenging and the people are top notch. Assignments and projects are balanced with individual capabilities.

Cons

While there is much discussion about reasonable risk taking relative to Principled Entrepreneurship, the reality is that most senior level staff hold back on making investment decisions. Decision making can be slow.
