Pros

Pretty good mission if safety is something you care about.

Cons

Management is completely disconnected from the needs of their staff. They make decisions without considering their effects on the team. Unexplained budget cuts with no reduction in goals is common. Management is ineffective at setting strategy or aligning work of different business units. Several high level managers are vindictive, petty, and dismissive of any idea they didn't originally think of themselves. There's no transparency in pay scales and the performance review process is a joke. They have you rate yourself on the values but never discuss these values throughout the year or hold themselves accountable to them. If I rated my manager on values like accountability, I'd give them an unsuccessful rating (blames others, shows no desire to improve or receive feedback). They are stuck with the status-quo but then upset when the status-quo produces mediocre work. Refuses to give feedback even when directly requested but constantly talks behind everyone's back. This is a toxic workplace for someone who thrives on collaboration, problem solving, integrity, and positive effort.

Pros

Remote work environment and flexible schedules. People who really care about keeping others safe.

Cons

Infighting at the highest levels of leadership is causing chaos for employees and the organization. Higher than average turnover rate. Major reorgs on an annual basis. No sense of direction or continuity.
