Pros

Excellent program for attaining professional designations through the Institutes. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Complete lack of direction from executive team. Executives are heavy in management but light in leadership experience, so they micromanage everything. Complete inability to execute on any projects; partly due to an inept IT department and partly due to executive management's extreme fear of progressive change. Management team is very risk averse, partly because they don't understand the difference between individual risk and collective risk.

Pros

A great hybrid work program. People who really care for each other. Focus on upgrading technologies for a strong future. Numerous training opportunities and a tuition reimbursement program.

Cons

Harder for some employees to engage in a majority virtual workplace. However, the company provides virtual an in-person chance to stay engaged.
