Pros

Pay is reasonable. Has flexible work arrangements. Colleagues are generally nice.

Cons

-Over complicate things. -No direction. -Lots of silos. -Very inwardly focused, no customer focus even though they talk a lot about it. -Management talks a big game but fails to execute. -Management likes to change things frequently for the sake of it, even if the changes have no value. They also do not properly consider the impact of their decisions. -Systems and processes seem to be under a constant state of change which constantly makes things worse.
