Pros

As I move through my career, I find myself picking up professional buddies along the way -- to help, to lean on, to leverage, and to call friends. Years after my employment, I note that I picked up and maintained more SB buddies than anywhere else. That speaks to good hiring by SB's HR team and a whole bunch of quality networking accomplished while working there.

Cons

Always busy. So busy! A good problem to monitor.

Not worth it

Pros

Interesting work and usually good peer colleagues.

Cons

Executive management is so far out of touch it's almost a parody. Can't make decisions without hiring useless consultants, create "solutions" for nonexistent problems, refuse to address decades-long issues of burnout and staff turnover. Obsessed with DEI.
