Pros

Kind, good coworkers who are hard working, thoughtful, and genuinely trying to make the world better and more secure.

Cons

A vast number of Senior and middle management changes including the departure of many beloved leaders that are making the company "ordinary" and average with a side of toxic new management trying to speak down instead of steering and clearing roadblocks while listening to the people who want to help. There is a huge culture shift happening.

Constant reorgs, poor management

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lot of really good, smart people

Cons

Poor management, no career path for high performers. Constant (pretty much annual) major re-orgs that never actually "settle." A lot of talk about pay equity and inclusion, but the experience / reality does not bear this out. Culture of fear, very hierarchical, finger pointing instead of collaborative problem solving.
