Pros

Salaries are competitive to industry. Flexible working hours including working from home three days a week. Flex time to show up.

Cons

Fiefdom culture in which everyone does what's best for their careers / direct businesses at higher levels. Authority is top heavy to make a big decision in a very risky adverse culture. As a result, company functions within small fiefdoms and on the short-term. Most people change roles within 2 years so constantly in flux and no reason to take mid to long term views. Per policy, employees can change roles after a year. Nobody retains knowledge or takes long-term actions. As a result, it's a sinking ship and will eventually go bankrupt. New renewable focus but no vision on how to integrate with existing businesses. No centralized vision & leadership, just new silos and fiefdoms. Leaders never agree and are never aligned. Woke policies but mixed leadership views. Very focused on females and non white hires / promotions as opposed to performance. Fails to invest in technology and resources (including people).
