Pros

Great benefits and generous pay.

Cons

CoBank's longstanding great culture and high value of employees has unfortunately been disregarded with the new management leadership. They have succumb to the "do more with less" philosophy as well as the prioritization of replacing American employees with cheap outsourcing. Simply adding ping-pong tables and couches does not make it a fun, hip place to work. It is managed by a dated and old school minded philosophy with a track record of changing course anytime some new shiny technology comes by. They have lost their course and vision of what made them successful and a great company to work for.

Thank you for your time at CoBank and for acknowledging our benefits and compensation. We understand that transitions can be challenging, and we are committed to supporting our teams throughout this process. Our TDI team is transforming to an exciting SAFe Agile environment and is focused on improving technologies to better serve our associates and customers. This transition requires many new roles, and the bank is actively working with existing associates to grow their careers in this new platform or filling these positions with US-based candidates. We remain dedicated to transparency as we execute on our vision for the future.

Pros

Financially speaking CoBank is a stable company. The yearly bonus payout is competitive,

Cons

It's referred to as "CoBank nice" which is another way of saying it's a passive-aggressive culture. If you dislike endless meetings, this environment can be frustrating. Strong resistance to change at the leadership levels - despite claims of being focused on transformation, real progress is very limited. Extremely slow pace. Recent months have brought significant organizational and leadership changes, but very little acknowledgement about the impact those changes have on associates. PTO is definitely not competitive.
