Pros

Very intelligent and friendly employees. Everyone is top-notch in their job and put their 100%. Good compensation and incentives plan from day 1, fairly generous defined pension plan, lots of of training modules available.

Cons

The leadership is changing, many rounds of layoffs from AVP level to middle-management are happening internally. Its a Matrix environment, but very inefficient processes. Every collaboration/question/etc has to be done through 1-hour meeting. Its a norm that 7 out of 8 hours working day is consumed with back to back meeting.
