Pros
Lots of training opportunities, decent benefits, onsite cafeteria and gym. Good work-life balance. Decent compensation and work environment (except for 2-3 floor conference rooms). Security staff and cafeteria staff are kind and helpful.
Kontras
Started losing best leaders about a year ago. Since then, a big push for early retirements for so many long timer rank and file which caused a huge drain in tribal knowledge, then rounds of layoffs. Workload has tripled. Personnel reviews with one-on-one's that have gradually felt like interrogations. Its getting worse as the "transformation" looms. New executive is trying to adopt a startup model and mix it with a more social European style environment. Result will soon be elimination of personal space, constant changes in tools, and more contractors to fill the void. Conference rooms are cold and noisy.
