Pros

Leading technology, many initiatives to work in field that 'matters', large enough to have some clout with vendors to get changes when needed

Cons

Technology is very siloed and cross department cooperation is 'a challenge' making troubleshooting very drawn out and new system rollouts a longer process than needed.

Business Outlook

Pros

Generally compassionate to employees. Inclusive in approach. Employee engagement is good. Recognizes good employees but does not do enough to retain them.

Cons

Slow decision making. Consensus based approach is their achilles heel. Work load is not equitable. Lots of people get away with slacking on the job.
