Pros

Great pay and benefits, opportunity for very good work schedules depending on position and work group. They encourage further education, at least officially.

Cons

Poor communication, bloated workforce with multiple layers of redundancy and unnecessary people and processes that drag everything down. Too much forced emphasis on diversity, leaving qualified 'majority' candidates out of luck sometimes.

Pros

Great people and strong coworkers across the organization. The company offers competitive pay, strong benefits, and good overall stability. There are many experienced employees who care about the work and are willing to help others succeed.

Cons

The organization can be very hierarchical, which sometimes makes it difficult to drive change or move quickly. Decisions often require multiple layers of approval, so it can take longer than expected to finalize direction or make progress. There is also limited flexibility compared to what many other companies offer, especially when it comes to working arrangements.
