Pros

Still good people around on the business side of CoBank

Cons

Don’t listen to posts by IT senior managers and directors. They’re they ones complicit in this “transformation” and in most cases they ones doing the firings. The only explanation they give is that the new CIO “has done this before”. Integrity is no longer a thing at CoBank. Rather than leverage the domain expertise and experience of senior engineers, they’ve devised a way to get people to quit so they can be replaced by Associate level employees. If you manage to stick it out, they just terminate you.

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.
