Pros

Stable company with fairly good benefits and bonuses. Excellent spoken company values, usually adhered to.

Cons

Constantly looking to cut back on spending to run the business entities while acquiring other companies to grow the business (spending billions) makes for a difficult work environment unless you thrive on change. Cutting benefits while spending billions to buy other companies makes for bad morale and very few internal opportunities for promotion.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
