Use to be great place to work but over last few yrs deteriorated

Risk manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Internal transfers to other positions and dept are common and easy at manager level.

Cons

Getting a director + job internally is impossible without sponsorship and knowing the hiring leader in advance. It's run like a HS organization, ie it's who you know not what you know. It's highly political and inefficient. Every 5 yrs the company cuts head count by 10% and reorg. Leaders assigns jobs out to you and you end up in a new group/ boss and the message is, be thankful you have a job.
