Pros

Strong leadership concern about individual development and growth, project assignment are clear with individual accountability, and the organization is very collaborative and results-oriented.

Cons

The organization is top-heavy, so decision making can be slow and bureaucratic at times. Individual ownership and accountability differs across various managers and their respective leadership styles for empowering their employees.

Pros

A trust-worthy, well-respected company with a great brand image. It does promote a work life balance and most managers try to maintain that culture.

Cons

While work life balance is talked about, in some parts of the organization it's just not possible. Very coprorate and conservative workplace.
