Pros

If you want a stable, run of the mill, SME-type, wait your turn, slow and steady compensation then this is the place for you.

Cons

Can be quite political; all about who you know. I'm better because I got here before you did mentality

Pros

Compensation and benefits. Diversity and inclusion. More people who act professionally and courteously than in any other job I've held. Desire for input from all levels. Safety oriented.

Cons

The CEO has been carving up the company and selling it off for several years to create an "asset light" corporation. However, "asset light" includes decreasing the number of employees. If you want to be able to plan for the future (i.e. do I buy a house or not), this is not a company to invest your talent in at this time.

Pros

Global Experience, large cross functional teams, nice benefits

Cons

With 60,000 people, lots of opportunities to change roles (& managers) within the company but unfortunately not great HR planning for long term career growth. Especially to fill the mid level manager gap.
