Pros

good bennies, forward looking in terms of social justice issues.

Cons

very dated and difficult working systems. No real working local knowledge of actual building systems, or delivery software. Lots of internal politicking, power positioning, and not much of any real discussion or action on BUILDINGS. This company seems to have lost its way over the years and has now become just painful to be at in nearly every function of the job from accounting, marketing, recruiting, hiring, etc. etc.
