Hindsight is 20/20 would not have joined the organization if I knew what I know now but it is all a learning experience.
Pros
There are some really great but over-worked people in the organization.
Cons
1) There is no work-life balance here. Working early in the morning, through lunch, into the night, at night, and on weekends on a regular basis is the norm. While some areas fortunately do not reap these benefits many unfortunately do. The only upside is least some of these times are working from home but when you are working at 1 am at home that is the least of your problems. 2) Meetings on top of meetings. There are meetings to discuss meetings many of which do not add any value at all. 3) With all the re-organization of late roles have become more "challenging and competitive" basically taking on the responsibility of the reformed organization to see who best can manage the responsibility of 4-5 roles in 1. 4) Individuals have no say as to where they can go in the organization it is decided by management.
