Pros

Can be at your own comfort level - If you like to push the boundaries, you are welcome but no pressure or merit reward to be expected to do so.

Cons

Have to wait or reapply to new position to get career growth ( not merit based once inside with first job) - can feel stuck in lower salary grades unless you initially got in to the right job grade match of your experience.

Pros

There are many diverse roles and opportunities within the company, which can make it easier to explore different career paths and avoid feeling stuck or bored.

Cons

Company lacks clear direction and has significant internal disorganization. Employees are often expected to take on multiple roles without appropriate compensation or support. Despite consistently being a high performer, I left feeling undervalued — after covering two roles, there wasn’t even a simple thank you upon departure. To make matters worse, eight months after leaving, they are now claiming I owe over $5,000 in PTO that had previously been considered settled at the time of my exit. Overall, the experience left a very negative impression and highlighted serious internal process issues.
