Pros

Work with bright, hard working people

Cons

Senior management is taking away regularly scheduled WFH days unless you can prove a hardship or special circumstances. Corporate hubs are moving to "choice seating" which essentially means you no longer have an assigned desk. Each morning you are required to come in and find a seat by logging into a system. You have an extremely small locker where you must go to pick up any personal items you'd like to bring to your desk for the day. At the end of the day, you log out and put your belongings back in your little locker. Teams are no longer guaranteed to sit together. You may not even be guaranteed a seat when you come in, in which case you have to work with an Admin to help you find a seat somewhere. By the time you actually sit down, it can be a half hour later. There is a general feeling of frustration and discontent in the office with these changes. There are extremely intelligent and seasoned employees working in this type of environment and quite frankly insulting how we are being treated.

Pros

They treat people well overall. It's all about connecting to others to get anything done, so if you're great with networking and maintaining connections it's a good place to work. Honestly the kindest layoff I've ever experienced, including genuine internal support to find another job. Still doing meaningful DOI work, including some of the best friendly benefits out there.

Cons

If you don't have a highly specialized cyber security skill set or work at a main campus in Texas, Ohio, Delaware, New York or New Jersey don't expect to ever move up the ladder. Staying focused on goals OR successfully communicating strategy pivots seems to be beyond most MDs in Global Technology. They seem to be having a re-org problem at the moment. I had 5 managers in the last 365 days I was there, hardly time to get any work done and then challenged at the end to show impact or delivery, all you can do is shrug and say 'tell me how, when you moved me every 2 months?"
