Pros

Environmentally ethical, great products, flexible work atmosphere, long-term strategy and vision in place for success and normal to high compensation.

Cons

10+ years of dramatic transformation, inclusive of pushing key components to outsourced/partners resulted in broken down processes, extensive delays in resolution of issues, dysfunction, lack of 'cultural atmosphere' and implementation of work-place-innovation has provoked a lack of in-office attendance to provide enhanced culture and collaboration; but isolation. Difficult to balance given many roles require 'odd' hours to work(early AM, late PM).

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
