Pros

Most people care about the company and the mission. Generally talented people to work with and oppotunity to move around the organization and learn.

Cons

Decisions are made at very high level on small things, and big things are not decided on. Higher level management tends to set goals but not strategies to acheive them, delegating that to the middle management, but then not empowering them to put the strategic plan into action.

Pros

People at Manager and ABM level. Company Values and Beliefs. Competitive pay but falling short on medical benefits.

Cons

Politics are rampant. Director level and above are solely focused on their personal agendas and advancing their own careers. SCJ has built a culture of Directors and NOT leaders. Sr Leadership evokes fear in employees and is not willing to accept or appreciate diverse thinking. HR is abysmal and can not be trusted. What was once an amazing company is now fighting for relevancy and existence in the new world.

Pros

Work/Life Balance Friendly Culture Easy to change roles and grow within the company

Cons

Somewhat chaotic project execution with poorly defined process and roles for decision making. Too low-risk. For a company that claims to be technical and data-driven, decision making is highly political.
