      Pros

      Comparatively better work culture and work life balance

      Cons

      Works like a government entity, governed by process. Nothing ever moves here, Projects take years to reach to market, or most of them are dropped in middle, No Innovation, just struggling for survival. Seniors don't work and don't let others do work. People are here for 20+ years dictating their terms in maintaining status quo and challenging every attempt of change. Very old and outdated tech, with no one willing to upgrade and change/adapt.

      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.
