Pros

good experience, good benefits, worked with some really good people, you can get promoted if you stay long enough or outlast your piers

Cons

Middle manager are afraid of senior management, threats of making career limiting moves run rampant. Management seldom ask are we supporting you is there anything we can help you to do your job better. The culture doesn't make you want to do a good job, work life balance does not exist. The variable income is the worst I have ever seen I was a top over performing individual in my division and regularly got a lower variable pay than a colleague that consistently did not achieve his revenue or other financial metric targets

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
