Pros
Very supportive of Work/Life balance, Relaxed culture that is still focused on doing good work. Opportunity for training and to learn new skills. Supervisors were very accommodating about assigning work based on what one was interested in learning.
Cons
Low compensation compared to industry, could be too laid back for Type A high achievers looking for a fast track to the top. For IT, do not expect to work with the cutting edge of technology.
Advice to Senior Management
Encourage greater feedback sessions between managers and their teams.
