Pros

Office parties are good... free popcorn.

Cons

No career planning, cannot choose skills and areas you wish to learn - it's dictated from above. No flexibility on hours worked. TSP does not work in this environment, more people complain about it than embrace it. CIO really is not in tune with the IT team.

With the exception of some teams, company culture is great. Opportunity to work on some cool stuff

Super strict on in office attendance and recently culture has taken a hit because of it. Also compensation and career progression aren’t very good past year 1.
