Avantages
- Decent pay, benefits and location is good - Colleagues are generally smart and though it's not a really collaborative place, it's not a place where your colleagues are stealing your ideas - You can take on additional work and grow your experience very easily if you want (but, that will make it even harder to get a promotion) - The people with defined benefits will start leaving in 2022/23. It will make the company a much better place to work, and there should be promotion opportunity; should see more women and people of color get more opportunities as that older, mostly white, mostly male group retires.
Inconvénients
- Too many 30-year employees holding onto their positions. They reinforce the hierarchy, and make it impossible to instill the "leadership principles" that the company says they want to see. They are managers, not leaders. And, not even good managers. - Too much talk about diversity, equity and inclusion with too little action. (Rare in my LOB to see a woman or person of color get key work, or be promoted). - Really far behind in terms of tech, digital products and services, and do not have an innovation mindset (no matter how often they say innovation....)
