No culture whatsoever, but generally good company
Pros: - good possibilities to have a career and switch between departments, if you build your network
- great product set that sells, although it's too much about the products, and they don't try hard enough to make it more about the customers
- lots of learning possibilities
- generally a good mix of benefits available
- new buildings are great
- people are good fun, I've always carried on because of the people
Cons: - it's too little about the customers (messaging really needs to change) 
- it's too little about the people (personal development plans are shelved if it's not the employee himself to create, review and drive it
- what bothers me really is that there is a big inconsistency in the quality of leadership and management styles. that's because there's a lack of a vision for a company culture. even most of the sales vp's are not very inspirational, and that has a huge impact on work moral and ethics. Either you got the total hands off guy which isn't great if you look for personal growth and coaching, or you've got the opposite - a micro manager that drives you mental
- lack of urgency sometimes for really important changes that should happen in the organisation
- disagreements within the leadership team is noticeable at times
