Pros

Great work life balance in the group which I worked. Good benefits.

Cons

No raises without getting a new job. Management is very reactive, despite employees being encouraged to be proactive. Personal feelings brought into the organization from management, i.e. work performance being graded on how much charity you do at home. And donations are not good enough, you MUST donate time. To me at least, you should be graded at work on how well you do your job, not on what you do at home.

Advice to Senior Management

Plan all changes before they are actually executed.
