Pros

Great benefits - 401(k) match $0.75 on the dollar up to 6% of salary plus separate retirement fund; good health coverage; friendly and casual environment; old, established and financially stable company that's generally well respected; concerned about honesty and ethics.

Cons

Hamstrung by its own suffocating bureaucracy; too many big shots holding too many meetings but still slow to make decisions, often inconsistent from month to month, and making decisions that are "too safe" vs. aggressive competitors; difficult to advance due to a high level of internal politics.

Pros

Good PTO and benefits. Work load is manageable but the company is going through a business transformation process which could increase workload to maximize efficiency.

Cons

Work life balance decreased steadily over the years with not a lot of room for growth within FP&A. Many roles were BPO’d out.
