1) They will box you into your role and disallow you to expand elsewhere, despite any other experience you may have. I was actively told not to assist other workers in other departments because that "wasn't my job" despite the fact that they were struggling and I was capable of helping.
2) You will be VERY underworked. Much of the job is waiting for something to pop up, and because they box you into your role, there is very little opportunity to find your own work and make yourself useful elsewhere.
3) There is very little training or guidance. They throw you into the deep end without teaching you any of the nuance, and since they have their own standards and policies, there are a lot of little details not provided in the handbook. They will not teach you these details. The manager will instead wait for you to make a mistake and then scold you. Much of the learning I experienced on this team was through making small mistakes and getting corrected rather than professional or helpful guidance.
4) The manager is hard to approach and it will be easy to tell whether or not she likes you.
5) They will preach a company "culture of kindness" but will do very little to walk that walk. The VP clearly has all the best intentions and makes a lot of effort, but since her team is spread out across the coast, it is difficult for her to make sure that the culture she wants is being implemented. The lower level leadership in particularly does not ensure weaving a small-company closeness like the VP wants.
6) For such a large company, the benefits are mediocre at best and the yearly equity/raise is laughable.
