Pros

Great pay! Great resources! Good people and nice culture overall. Very diverse workforce with people from various backgrounds and countries of origin.

Cons

Too many gates to getting things done. A lot of inefficiencies as people that have nothing to do with your job are given opportunities to weigh in on things that don't concern them; a big strain on ones autonomy. Too much office politics. With ultimate leadership seated in the U.K. various leaders in the U.S. use that to their advantage to control information. Many times making themselves look good while not necessarily giving an accurate account of those at their peer level or lower. Progression in the org seemed to be more about who you know more so than what you know and contribute.

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
