      Pros

      Solid company with ethical work environment and standards. Very team-oriented and collegial environment. Established work processes and standards/KPI's, etc. Good benefits and fair compensation.

      Cons

      Slow to move on new ideas and different ways of working. Hard to break free of older ideas/stereotypes/norms. "Cliquish" environment at times.

      Pros

      After more than 30 years with the company, I can genuinely say I worked alongside some truly outstanding people. The talent and dedication across the organization — both domestically and internationally — have always been one of its greatest strengths. The relationships built over the years are something I will always value. For much of my tenure, the company offered top-notch benefits and competitive compensation. Depending on your role, there has also been meaningful flexibility with scheduling and time off, which many employees appreciated. The company has also been known for providing fair severance packages during difficult transitions. Earlier in my career, the culture felt more family-oriented and closely connected. Over time, that feeling has shifted as the organization has evolved and grown.

      Cons

      On the constructive side, decision-making at the leadership level can be slow, which sometimes impacts morale and momentum. In recent years, there have been reductions in benefits and periodic layoffs that leave employees questioning workload distribution and long-term planning. Overall, my experience was shaped by the people — and that is what made it meaningful. I am grateful for the decades of professional growth and the colleagues who made it worthwhile.
