Pros

Great benefits. Great mission. Great brand reputation and national platform. Some very intelligent and passionate people scattered throughout the organization.

Cons

Senior leadership egos, politics, and lack of leadership capabilities. Operating as individuals, rather than a cohesive team. Lip service, dragging feet, self-importance. Bureaucracy is stifling. No real decisions, goals, metrics, or accountability. No results, little impact, no innovation.

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
