Pros

The company is very focused on hiring diverse candidates and promoting inclusion among the workforce. The senior managers focus on work/life balance and addressing social issues. This is great and makes for a good work environment. The salaries are very competitive and the overall compensation package is very attractive.

Cons

There are a lot of inefficiencies, waste and complexity in the organization. The various business units operate in silos and the leaders are not always concerned with the health of the company overall, but are more concerned with their own division. It is very difficult for a new employee to learn to navigate the many layers of the business. Your support teams are very often located in different parts of the world and it makes it difficult to know who is responsible for what aspect of the business.

Pros

Steady advancement if qualified. See something say something. Average is not good enough to advance. Best benefits in our area, up to 10 days bereavement. Eight paid weeks of parental leave for moms and dads in addition to six to eight weeks of paid maternity leave for new moms.

Cons

Always changing new things happening, constant innovation if you cannot change and adapt you will be left behind.
