Great benefits, Interesting people, diverse work enviroment.

Cons

Micromanaged on site roles, minimal support for employee needs, talk of growth but few real opportunities, many interpersonal agendas and politics. too many managers, too few workers. Most people don't know what is required of them, be they managers or subordinates.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
