Good benefits, subpar culture
Pros
Good benefits Work - life balance Location in RTP
Cons
Company loses its ability to innovate with so many restrictions from “supporting” groups such as procurement/IT/Saftey. Getting anything done becomes a headache and a burden. Getting a PO for a vendor who is the best for the end result is an enormous task when you have to get them through a system called Avetta, then you have to fight procurement on thier recommendations who have no clue the end result of the preferred vendors output. They only understand the input to the vendor - aka how much money. Don’t forget you get what you pay for. Imagine the money that could be saved yearly by not having these “support” groups. Any money saved by getting a cheap vendor is offset anyways by the departments yearly overhead, but the added work and frustration caused by having the non technical group try to steer the technical folks on whom they deem as the best supplier could be a great step in allowing for more freedom to do one’s job.
