Pros

Hybrid work Stable company Current Technology

Cons

This was a really great company and organization to work for in the past but the last 2 years took a significant downturn when the current Head of Enterprise Technology was placed in his position. Run from this organization. He keeps close a few good ole boys (certainly not women) and promotes them up the chain. Everyone else is 'lead' by fear and being coercion. No one feels safe (especially his directs) to speak up so nothing changes. This organization is toxic and Guardian leadership ignores the issue. Recent survey results focused on the positives and would not address any of the negative concerns. HR is useless in this area and is part of this problem. The teams are worked to death, often after hours and told this is just part of the job and get used to it. What once was teams supporting each other is now divided by the management and pit against each other if they don't fall in the Head's reporting structure. Guardian talks a lot about people count, mental health, "say something" ethics values and work life balance but they don't really mean it for their employees.
