Pros

They care about progression. I was promoted during my time there. They supply good equipment and the interviewing training is great. The leadership principles actually make sense if you use them right.

Cons

Management don't often listen, and direction comes from so far above that it isn't really easy to push back. Often overworked, left after 2 years feeling very burned out. Leadership Principles are often misused by management in a strange political way.
