Pros

innovation creates an environment of continuous learning

Cons

it's time for a changing of the guard - too many SBLs and Group Heads have been around for way too long. The Stl office is in need of a fresh, new, faster, less bureaucratic approach to innovation. On board super sharp contractors, and then allow them to leave after imparting valuable knowledge and experience after 3yrs, instead of converting to an employee. Promotion process is not transparent. Promotions seem to depend on who you know, and who they know, instead of quality of work.

Huge plus. - Focus on innovation, youth, and a multigenerational workforce - Culture is significantly improving by being more transparent

Cons

- There are too many people there resistant to change - A strong network of people who've been there 15+ years - Takes forever to get something basic done; no one wants to take accountability or ownership of anything
