Pros

Pro: 401K, with matching company’s contribution; 20 days of paid vacation

Cons

Con: Lot of pressure, time-consuming agile meetings every day; stupid “high performance workspace” (400 people on a floor with no walls or cubicles); too frequent reshuffling of groups hierarchy and middle management; there is no word “employee” in use - it is “resource” instead.

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?"
