What a Shocker !!

Pros

Tactical level employees working for the company are very nice and most work hard to ensure the success for the company.

Cons

Leadership team is basically outsourced because they all work on contract basis and as such have no vested interest in the success of the employees. HR Department is either useless or powerless. Pretty much turn the other cheek on serious HR violations caused by abuse of power. There is a large degree of nepotism so you don't know if it's safe to speak with your boss or not because they could very well be related to the person you have a complaint about. Technology is also about 20 years behind and they are very process poor. Retirement announcements roll in like daily news. There are at least 2-3 a week. It's pretty insane - almost like people are running from the place.

Parts of the organization have real problems - the HR department is notoriously bad.

Pros

Many of the long term employees are dedicated and decent people. There are opportunities to help other employees and gain a broader perspective.

Cons

Silo communication, management contempt for employees. Some parts of the organization (such as Engineering, HR, Acquisition, MBE) are very "can't do" places.
