Great place to work.
Great place to work.
Very competitive salary and benefits. Lots of freedom to move vertically and laterally. Very competitive products and valued stock.
Not much career guidance is available.
Career stewardship is highly dependent upon individual supervisors.
It is too easy for a single bad relationship to torpedo a career in some parts of the company. Also, rather than having a very open decision making process as internal materials contend, it is clear that the decision making process is very hierarchical with little to no debate on significant decisions. I think that is by design and senior management is making good decisions for the company - however, the dissonance between the stated values of the company and the lived values is striking.
