Pros

Virtually unlimited ammo ($$$) to execute. Resilient group of people during crisis. Basically impossible to be fired. Yearly salary increase. Fat pension (if you resist)

Cons

To experienced hires: don’t apply. The rating system is built so that only who starts after college can advance in their career. The atmosphere is mostly passive aggressive with a sprinkle of backstabbing. The company’s vision is “fast follower”: basically if you have ideas, go elsewhere. Everything is a “project” and the bureaucracy is unbelievable: it doesn’t matter if you did something new, you must follow “the process”. It’s a dinosaur stuck in a 70s/80s way of doing things.

Pros

Good opportunities for networking and travel.

Cons

A significant HR issue between interns occurred during my internship and was handled very poorly. Once the matter came to HR’s and leadership’s attention, it was not officially resolved until months after the internship had ended. The VP privately apologized for the situation, but the overall response was inadequate and felt as though the situation was being swept under the rug. The lack of timely communication and follow-up created a very uncomfortable environment for a young intern and significantly impacted what was otherwise a positive internship experience.
