Pros

Smart, capable colleagues; excellent work-life benefits; important mission; access to developmental resources; Whitehouse Station facility is gorgeous. Workforce reductions were done thoughtfully.

Cons

Crazy workload; don't have a great deal of respect for current HR leadership. Total compensation is much less competitive than it was in the past, though executive pay remains high and is not in line with company performance.
