Pros

There are some well skilled, dedicated and like-minded co-workers to enjoy working with learning from. Salary is acceptable. Decent benefits.

Cons

Promotions seem to be too rarely based on the actual capability of an employee and seems more often to be based on sycophantic behaviour towards management. The skill level vs job title standard seems to be lower at HQ compared to other offices. Investment in external training opportunities for employees seems to be increasingly pinched and rationed compared to offerings from previous years. Some Dir level employees seem completely out of touch with the day to day operations/realities of the teams they oversee.
