Pluspunten

Great work/life balance and benefits package, including a pension. There are lots of people who have been with SF for 20+ years, and it's real tempting to stay here for all the perks. Everyone is friendly; they hire good people and try to foster a community atmosphere in the office. Lots of talented people to work with. Flex time is best time. Lots of training and education opportunities. If there's a problem with your performance, they'd rather make you better than fire you. Work from home is often an option (but fully remote worker is very rare) The rules of the corporate ladder are made real obvious and fairly easy to follow, if you're in to that kind of thing.

Minpunten

A lot of the pros I listed only apply to tech folk. The Systems department is basically a separate company with its own rules. I've heard mixed reviews from friends in claims, legal, etc. Even in Systems, a lot is left up to "manager's discretion", which can be good or bad. Pay is lower than industry average. They make up for it with benefits, but some people would rather have a bigger paycheck than services like TeleDoc or gym membership discounts. Big cogs turn slow, and often. Some tech decisions are lagging behind the industry, lots of waste and absurd restrictions. Meanwhile mid-level managers are in constant churn - usually to different depts instead of leaving. Pretty much have to play the corporate ladder game to advance in pay and be taken seriously by higher-ups.

Pluspunten

(Destijds) Eerlijke beloning en voorspelbare bonusstructuur Ze waren redelijk goed in het dekken van reiskosten en het snel terugbetalen van diverse personeels- en diversiteitsinitiatieven Leuke en grappige collega's Kansen voor groei Nogmaals, dit was allemaal vier jaar geleden en is waarschijnlijk veranderd

Minpunten

(Destijds en nu, volgens andere commentaren) Arrogant tot een fout Totaal gebrek aan innovatie en bereidheid om te innoveren Vreemde gehechtheid aan het verleden van het bedrijf (wat vooruitgang in de weg staat) Groot aantal veteranen (20+ jaar) die vastbesloten zijn om dat te krijgen pensioengeld, en zijn daarom bestand tegen verandering en technologie Zwaar afhankelijkheid van command and control managementstijl Slechte besluitvorming die tot allerlei soorten verliezen leidt
