Pros

Has good benefits and competitive pay. Good established principles (not always followed now)

Cons

Used to be principled. Sr. Managers now blind to mid manager deficiencies. People join companies, leave managers. Watch for many leaving in the near future. Sr. Leaders are disconnected to the associate base. That used to be a strength - now a huge weakness. Only listening to news they want to hear. Very sad.

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
