Pros

Benefits and work/life balance are pretty good. If you are in a good department with growth, lots of opportunities.

Cons

I'm stuck in a group that has gone through several reorgs in the last 24 months and career growth is in neutral or reverse. Posting within the company is difficult at times.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
