Pros

A global conglomerate. Large organization has opportunities to move horizontally. Building Technologies is not very innovative or creative. However, Healthcare is. Laid back work environment Work/Life Balance Great place to go to retire

Cons

Extremely political organization with preference to seniority, friendships and favoritism. It is a "tech giant" that is stuck in the 70s. Political-clout and make sure you part of the right party in power. Promotions are based on who you know and not what you know. There is a lot of talk about innovation and the leaders who have been assigned to innovate have no technology background. It is a 'YES' culture. If you flatter your manager, leadership team and go with the flow you will survive. The organization lacks diversity among employee population and senior leadership. Not a single VP is a woman or a minority or from a technology background. If you are smart and young, this is not a place for you.

Pros

Great company and coworkers. People are very nice and friendly and the CEC is a nice place to work and the role has flexible hours.

Cons

There is a lot of work to be done so there's a lot of stress that comes with the role. There are times where you will have to work over 40 hours a week. Seems like work-life balance is not prioritized.
