Pros

Mostly everyone is friendly and willing to help out.

Cons

The workflows, procedures, and processing delays are a joke. Make it impossible to keep clients happy when everything is done so inefficiently, with outdated systems still being relied upon for most work items.

Pros

Leadership makes the difference. I've been on great teams, on terrible teams. Average raise is 2% if you're rated successful, which is always a frustration in March, review time.

Cons

Sometimes you get stuck with a terrible leader and you are stuck for a year before you can change departments. It's well known Principal under compensates people compared to thr market.
