Pros

My team was phenomenal, made a lot of great friends there. You're never bored as there is always some project you are working on, in addition to your daily fire fighting. Compensation was competitive for the area.

Cons

Zero work-life balance, communication between executives and ground floor employees is completely broken making it hard to understand the company vision. You will be run into the ground, you will have to follow processes for the sake of a following a process. Talent recruitment is a joke and consistently bring in the wrong employees, rewarding the subpar workers while the "rock-stars" are taken for granted and treated poorly - leading to high turnover or a crushed soul. You will be told what to do, while being asked for your input just to have your PROFESSIONAL recommendations ignored - leaving you dead inside. Zero room for vertical movement, as it's mostly the old timers who are coasting to retirement with little desire to stop cashing their paychecks. Overall compensation when it came to your job description was fair, however, you will be required to do mostly things outside of your job description, making it actually very poor compensation.

Pros

For the most part, I did not have to bring work home with me. Compensation was good. Benefits are on par with other corporations in the area, although they have been slowly eroding them.

Cons

Company still very siloed between the various business units. Middle and upper management do not work well with each other, and their strategy is not as clear as it could be. A lot of formerly in-house services have been outsourced, which has slowed down what were routine processes. Micromanagement seems to be on the rise.
