      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits. Individual managers can be great with work life balance.

      Cons

      Corporate culture is not great for the people aspect. New CEO is a numbers person.

      Stagnant in the tech space, lots of unnecessary middle managers

      Technology consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good bonuses, holiday shut down for a week in December, steady company overall, pay can be great, but you need to make sure you negotiate upfront as initial offers I’ve seen have not been good. This seems to be a place people will stay for

      Cons

      Lots of re-orgs, people are promoted through who they know not by their quality of work or knowledge, so much bloat as usual for a large company, not a lot of room for growth in the tech space and very stagnant when it comes to growth and adoption of new tech and processes, lack of accountability with employees- lots of projects take much longer due to being pushed around because no one wants to own them or work on them, process is so heavy and a complete mess, RTO is strictly enforced for some but not others. This is a place people will stay for years and just coast the rest of their career, so not a lot of passion or innovation in areas.
