Pros

Some great workers and opportunities. Great place to coast D&I investment is enormous

Cons

Poor management regardless of honours given to staff for doing their paid job. Nepotistic and shortsighted. Projects are difficult to progress without senior management getting credit. More like a career doldrum than a vehicle to develop a career. Overpaid senior managers with huge bonuses and pensions

Pros

Good work life balance. Good benefits. If you're a coward and don't mind not speaking the truth then you'll fit right in

Cons

Not enough people to do the work. Telling the truth to leadership will have you blacklisted. Bullies get promoted to leadership positions. No emotional intelligence in leaders. I was told by several "leaders" that it's just a game and I need to play it better.
