Pros

Very old company with a rich history undergoing exciting changes - operationally and strategically. Function of company in society is critical. Keith Williams is a very respected and talented leader.

Cons

Although most companies are similar to some degree, it fells that growth & advancement (although possible) is limited to a very small community of employees & is dependent on relationships just as much as it is skill / know-how. To advance in this company, skill alone will not get you there. It will likely take long tenure & forming of key relationships...in addition to proven skill set.

Pros

- I worked in an excellent team, though I understand this might not be every group. - Very good work-life balance - Pays reasonably well. - Comfortable place to work with decent benefits that isn't very stressful. - Frequent exposure to new technology.

Cons

- Difficult and unclear promotion, goal setting and performance appraisal processes. - Difficult to branch out in responsibilities for technical positions. - Very ambiguous bonus structure that never quite makes sense and seemingly always underdelivers. - Increasingly aggressive micromanaging of day to day projects. - Unclear, patchy support for process improvement work. - Very few positive or negative consequences. Recently increased push for negative consequences, but no substantial positive reinforcement for doing well.
