Pluspunten
* Reverse commute was possible * Retirement plan was good * Some pockets of company genuinely were trying to improve corporate culture one step at a time * SVPs make themselves available * Good availability and accessibility for food given campus is not particularly close to anything * Very smart people on multiple projects but some snobbery and ego between disciplines (especially cyber background) * easier to achieve a slower pace of life
Minpunten
* Lots of infighting over small and big things which disrupts work * Inventors and innovators not as well respected by internal backoffice functions like finance and commercialization as other organizations. Was treated like a burden * government sometimes confused if company still a not-for-profit * Easy for project and task leaders to give feedback on employees but very little opportunity to give honest feedback upwards about individual leaders It was not all CEO driven. It has been growing for a while and won’t disappear with a senior leadership change
