Gone downhill significantly in the past few years.

Pros

I work with some of the best people in the business. The benefits are amazing.

Cons

My department has been reorganized at least 4 times in 2015. As a result, on top of so many other people being laid off, we lost a lot of team members. Still others were forced into new roles that they did not sign up for. Systems were prematurely put into place with the latest reorganization, causing quite a bit of discontent. Incentive bonuses were cut for my department (and potentially others), on top of a salary freeze, so many of us are very underpaid. Morale is at an all-time low, and our direct leaders are confused as to why. That demonstrates the severe disconnect between leadership and employees.

Pros

People and clients are great. Strong technical competencies. Opportunity to learn from experts and grow professionally. Advancement opportunity to a certain level.

Cons

Many competing priorities. Too many egos and alternate agendas. Every year is a new structure so everyone is focused on establishing their role and not able to focus on external business development. Total identity crisis and confusing matrix especially for new employees.
