Pros

-Strong mission statement and values focusing on diversity and inclusion -Invests heavily in mentorship, provides ample learning and professional growth opportunities, and facilitates collaboration across diverse departments/divisions -Flexible work arrangements for most of IT division (primarily remote/work from home positions, but with optional hoteling space available) -Good healthcare and other benefits, generous paid time off program -Relatively long-term job security

Cons

-Team culture, work-life balance, and employee satisfaction vary depending on which department and management/leadership you work for -Inadequate base salaries and unwilling to reward long-term employees, sometimes offering higher salaries to new hires (often with less experience) -Ambiguous job titles lack clear differentiation and have overlapping pay scales (management can make less than their direct reports) -Seemingly non-existent standards for promotion, leading to inequities within and across departments and divisions -Convoluted performance/merit reward system, forcing management to often award the same or only slightly higher % increase to mid-level performers as those going above and beyond. Most recent cap for annual raises barely covers the cost of living -Lack of clear direction from business and IT leadership, little to no prioritization of strategic projects, constant barrage of new requests/mandatory changes causing constant burn-out
