Pros

Great healthcare. Decent benefits. Easy with great work life balance. Loved most of the people I worked with!

Cons

Constant restructure, new leaders/managers every year, projects always lose funding, no budget for anything (literally anything) in the shared services in corporate. Layoffs 2x a year, sometimes more. It takes two years to hire a role once approved for the headcount. Very slow to promote. I got laid off after five years.

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.
