Potentially great employer...   Ambitious w/high expectations w/o leadership or support.
Pros: Excellent work/life balance.   Good pay.   Ok benefits.   Worked with some really great people.  The staff during the new hire process were amazing and that part of the on-boarding was fairly simple and well organized.
Cons: Hired for expertise in the field.  New team; new division; new employees to the company.   Super high expectations.   Leadership expected too much the moment folks got grounding.   Didn't give enough time for tasks; didn't provide leadership or support.   Too top heavy on higher titles.   Lots of nepotism and favortism.  New CEO cut sales and consulting roles without question or thought.   Seems like a today thinker rather than a strategic one; also, been there too long so the CEO has become stale.  No thought leadership.

New employees were told to find their network and build portfolios without the proper tools.  Very archaic way of conducting business.

HR is not what is expected at a large company.  Very hands-off; risk averse.  Not supportive to the individual.
