Pros

Great associate and individual contributors. Good people, genuinely nice, working very hard and trying their best. Some of the DBS tools and the development opportunities are great.

Cons

Leadership - specifically VP level is a s***show. 1) Too many VPs - lets get real (never in my many yrs of exp have seen this) 2) VPs are protecting their own level and group - vs. what is truly better for the companies bottom line 3) VPs - some not all are down right micro managers and toxic 4) some VPs blast their own team in front of others and it is demoralizing...

Lovely people all trying to do the right thing.

No real collaboration at the senior level. Vision is not clear, and not always aligned. Inconsistent decision making.
