Pros

big company, many jobs. Company is outstanding as regards to work life balance and flexibility. Company wins many big contracts. Opportunities to work with lots of good, smart people.

Cons

very bureaucratic sometimes worse than working for the government - company seems very inefficient and for an IT segment doesn't seem yet to have it's act together. getting information quickly is sometimes a chore. seems to have a lot of reorganizations - typically they start the new one before the last one is complete.

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.
