Pros

Safe and comfortable environment, most people don't work too hard. The remuneration is very competitive. Great place to work when you can find a team of good people within it.

Cons

Slow career progression in the absence of a senior "sponsor". Very risk averse organisation - very few opportunities to take risks in pursuit of breakthrough ideas. This is an organisation intent on reinforcing past success as opposed to investing in innovation. Decisions are generally to be avoided, as there are limited consequences to making non-decisions. When decisions are take it is usually after a period of "analysis paralysis" where hundreds of powerpoint slides are generated. Inspirational leaders tend to "self select" out of the organisation.

Pros

Some good co-workers and good challenges

Cons

Leadership in the Tucson office is highly political and unprofessional. Feedback is not given directly. Local leadership is more interested in Linkedin posting and image, rather than anything of substance.
