Pros

Incredible benefits including flex benefit options, generous defined contribution pension, summer Fridays off at 2, vacation plus a week off at Christmas, etc. Highly intelligent staff. Compensation is typically quite competitive - although some exceptions Great mandate

Cons

So. Many. Leaders. Very very fat, inflated and completely unecessary. Causes a lot of over management and too many hands in the pot. Old school bureaucratic culture - nothing moves fast, including your career This is a company that plays favorites. If you drink the kool aid and align yourself with the right people, you will do very well. But if you have ideas that challenge those in power, you will feel it. Initiatives seem great on the surface but are all done at a very superficial, 'tick box' level including greenwashing, 'best place to work', diversity and inclusion, employee feedback, leader development, corporate values, corporate strategy, customer focus, etc. Some of the most influential members of the senior leadership team are narcissistic, out of touch and known bullies. No culture of accountability. There's a strategic plan, but no plans on how to operationalize it
