Pros

Full of great smart people that really care about what they do. It's a very stable company with a long average tenure so there is very little turnover. New CEO is making the right noises.

Cons

Sadly innovation has dried up and it's not a modern company to work for. Doing anything remotely close to cutting edge feels like a constant battle. Middle management is undergoing an immune response to change and seems more interested in protecting it's own silos rather than innovating. Management and leadership skills are patchy depending on area.

Pros

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
