Good Pay - Hard Culture to Work In

Pros

Pay and benefits are pretty good.

Cons

Always reorganizing. Efforts and initiatives can never really gain traction to achieve results. Outsourcing more and more, which also gives illusion of saving money. However, talent acquisition in other countries for certain skill sets is difficult and means hiring people who need significant training to get to baseline.

Complexity of beeing a large matrix organization is not ideal for new thinking and entrepreneurship.
