Initial impression - solid ''meh' so far

Recommend

Pros

Recently started (week 6 impression) - average organization so far. Work-life balance seems to be balanced. I don't see people working 15hr days, so that is a plus from where I was before. Initial impression is that there is plenty of room for process improvement and streamlining, but it seems that maintaining the old ways may be trumping forward progress. Don't know yet if this a corporate philosophy or just a local management issue.

Cons

Health benefits are expensive; paying twice what I left for a less comprehensive program. Recommend asking about benefits before accepting the offer so that you can compare apples to apples.
