Pros

pay and benefits are good; nice colleagues for most part

Cons

1. very hierarchical, no autonomy 2. people overly protective of turf because things so poorly defined 3. promotion/advancement based on who you know (allies) rather than performance or ability 4. things change every few months so you cannot get used to things; then you have a new boss 5. a lot of political games (maneuvering) because at its heart this company doesn't do a lot 6. people in management positions who have no experience managing staff or of the subject and don't belong there (only placed where they are due to a friend)

Pros

Benefits and salary were among the best based on my experience.

Cons

In short, once S.W.I.F.T. underwent the "LEAN" transformation, and cut 30% of their staff, I can see now that Management was not willing to challenge the CEO on the way business should be done. The LEAN transformation is now seen as micromanagement at best. Several people are not satisfied. I left because I couldn't see myself being micromanaged as well.
