Pros

Rapid advancement, work-life balance, teleworking available, great retirement, abundant leave

Cons

Company seems to go out of their way to be all inclusive to the point that more qualified people are overlooked for promotions. Too many idiotic mandatory training courses. It is very difficult to get anything accomplished due to all the task teams, pre-boards and boards that an item has go through to be baselined.

Government bureaucracy stuff, and residues of DOGE
