It started out great and dwindled over the years
Pros
There was a good work/life balance for me in my position. I had to opportunity to engage with some very interesting and smart people in my time there and I was able to travel some. I was able to work from home a lot and work around my busy life schedule when needed. Lots of flexibility in the position to have a life and do well at work. The benefits are good even if they are not as good as they were when I first started. They are still good compared to other companies. I had a lot of interesting and challenging work in my days to keep me satisfied for many years.
Cons
There was a lot of myopic mindset above me. My direct team was great, but the further north in the org chart I looked, the more short sighted and bottom line focused the management became. There was no top line mindset of growing from what I saw in their words and actions. It was always cut, cut cut and that got old after a while on the mindset of employees and created a downtrodden workforce around me. It was depressing many days in the office. I had 1 training class in the last 2 years so that was hard to stay motivated after having a lot of training opportunities up to that point early in my career. What it was when I started was great, and what I left was average at best as an organization.
