Pros

The people around me, at my level are fantastic to work with. The office environment, while cubicles, is nice and the campus is beautiful. There is a lot of meaningful work to be done. The salary, benefits, and work life balance are good.

Cons

The director level is horrible. There is a huge disconnect between the directors and the people actually doing the work. The corporate norm is for directors to get all the credit. The folks doing the work might get a thank you if they're lucky while the directors get full credit for having an idea along with monetary incentives. It's incredibly frustrating. The director level is currently making bad choices regarding future data grown and report maturity, reverting away from centralized visualizations to Excel only solutions.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
