Pros

Found a good number of upper management willing to mentor and listen to other voices and perspectives. Most employees are very dedicated. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Old fashioned middle management and a homogeneous workforce. It was difficult to create team cohesion with a rotating door of contractors. Not open to flex time. Little cross-over.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. Second to none. Very good work/life balance as well. Almost like government job hours.

Cons

Slow and sometimes unfair promotion process. Very difficult to move up in your position. No clear guidance on employee development.
