Pros

People are nice. Projects are interesting. Staff is knowledgeable

Cons

The overall experience of the company I got is you have to look over your shoulders like you can be on the chopping block at any time There is rampant knowledge hoarding and a CYA mentality between teams and within teams. They say you get bonuses, but you are only given one if you’re a top performer. Being a corporation, upper management is results driven without a plan to get to those results. Also being a big company, you are expendable. The company is continuously hiring, and with that, they obviously need to continuously get rid of people. So they appear to have firing quotas.

Pros

They treat people well overall. It's all about connecting to others to get anything done, so if you're great with networking and maintaining connections it's a good place to work. Honestly the kindest layoff I've ever experienced, including genuine internal support to find another job. Still doing meaningful DOI work, including some of the best friendly benefits out there.

Cons

If you don't have a highly specialized cyber security skill set or work at a main campus in Texas, Ohio, Delaware, New York or New Jersey don't expect to ever move up the ladder. Staying focused on goals OR successfully communicating strategy pivots seems to be beyond most MDs in Global Technology. They seem to be having a re-org problem at the moment. I had 5 managers in the last 365 days I was there, hardly time to get any work done and then challenged at the end to show impact or delivery, all you can do is shrug and say 'tell me how, when you moved me every 2 months?"
