Pros

The people are very nice

Cons

It tends to be very hierarchical. Actual jobs dont really fit job descriptions and bandwidth is an issue. Unless you are VP or above, you can give your advice just fine but it is rarely listened to giving you a sense that your skillset isnt really recognized or appreciated. Bringing up issues doesn't tend to matter. Solutions are talked about but are rarely actioned. There tends to be a wall between upper leadership and those below. I'm not sure the C-suite know about the issues or perhaps they do and don't prioritize them. Unclear as there is no sight of that. Job security overall is an issue.
