Pros

Benefits are very good, it's large enough to find multiple opportunities, it's flexible about working at home or on flex hours in most locations. In my location, we have "9-80", meaning that we work 9 hours a day and take every other Friday off. It's a very nice benefit -- even if you don't take the day off, you have a chance to catch-up since you aren't supposed to schedule meetings on that day.

Cons

It can be really hard to make Director for even talented people with good leadership skills, and it is almost impossible to make VP. They like to hire from outside for upper level positions, and lately I've witnessed a couple VP positions filled without competition.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
