Pros

- The workplace is very welcoming and inviting. Most people are very friendly and happy to talk to you, all the way up and down the hierarchy. - If you have a strong work ethic, proficient technical skills, and good interpersonal skills, you can advance your career very quickly. - Historically, there has been a lot of opportunity for lateral career movement. If, for example, you are in finance but you are interested in supply chain, there’s a strong chance you could get exposure to that. - For most, compensation is good and work/life balance is too. - It’s easy for your coworkers to become your friends. This, combined with work/life balance, is what is keeping me here.

Cons

- Constant org restructuring results in non-stop change. - Career advancement for middle management is just as driven by corporate politics as it is by merit. As such, leadership of many departments is questionably qualified. - On a similar note, Senior Leadership often acts indecisively. Decisions will be made without or against the advice of others, only for those decisions to be reversed several months or years later, further increasing internal turmoil. - It is growing increasingly difficult to buy into what the company’s vision for itself is, as that vision is becoming increasingly unclear. - As of 2025, I would not recommend joining the company. This has been a great place to work for many years, but the company is facing lots of significant change over the next year or two. Joining at this time would be a very poor experience.

Pros

Solid company, great company president

Cons

Some department leads should follow the example of Alex Taylor who seems to be a fair and just man. This company is riddled with unjust leaders (particularly the leadership in CEI/IBT). If you aren't liked--or part of their introverted clique--it's lights out for you. I also think there may be age concerns. Try to get out of there before your mid-late 50s.
