Pros

WLB is great, and sport ethos is embedded in the way people work to make sport a daily habit. The campus is beautiful and has great offices and gyms.

Cons

Leadership is often too disconnected from the work being done.

Lots of re-orgs would move people off of projects that were really important to the business because leadership hires external consultants to come in and make those decisions.

Then after the re-org, things are not great and people need to be moved back to projects the consultants deemed not important.

Advice to Management

Be closer to the teams doing work so you know what work and what the name of the team and project is.
