      Pros

      Great work-life balance, great benefits, and an easy 9-5 pace.

      Cons

      There is a strong emphasis on many good ideas such as lean processes, good quality, teamwork, etc.. However, the execution of such ideas falls flat due to a lack of strong leadership skills from the management. As an example, many projects are run as teams. However, without a project manager, resources become scarce, schedules stretch out, and morale slips as confusion of a lack of roles and responsibilities sets in. High turnover has also been a problem. Constantly losing employees decreases morale, internal knowledge is lost, making it harder for new employees to navigate the corporation, and indicates a wider systemic problem with the culture and business.

      Pros

      The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

      Cons

      Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
