Pros

Benefits are good. Big global company means better healthcare. Plenty of learning and skill building opportunities for employees who are in the engineering/technical roles. Met some cool people and made friends there.

Cons

There are a lot of cons. First and foremost, the pay is absurdly low compared to other agencies and global companies. Several of the marketing leaders are petty and prone to blatant favoritism. Performance review cycles only go one way, the manager giving feedback to their direct reports, and annual bonuses aren't paid until the April of the next year. There's tons of red tape. If you have a good manager, you'll see plenty of growth opportunities. If you don't have a good manager, you'll get stuck in a middle-of-the-road position without any mobility or pay increases. Work/life balance has room for improvement. Another area where if you have a good manager you'll be fine but if not, you're screwed.

Pros

Amazing team—very collaborative, supportive, and welcoming from day one. Strong leadership, my manager is incredibly supportive and gives you autonomy to take ownership and bring new ideas forward. There is a well-structured environment—processes are clear, well explained and continuously improving. Great opportunities to learn; many trainings and tools available to support professional growth. People genuinely care about each other and create a positive work environment.

Cons

In some cases, coordination across teams can take extra time
