Pros

Company brand, great reputation. Excellent benefits. Global. Flexible work schedules. Opportunity to work from home.

Turnover. Going thru a lot of change/transformation. A lot of downsizing. Hard to move into management. Not enough being done to retain/bring in diverse talent. More about who you know.

Pros

I loved my job and my coworkers, and the company's health benefits were outstanding. Leaving wasn't an easy decision, but it was the right one.

Cons

I had a toxic manager who micromanaged everything—checking time reports, tracking lunch breaks, and monitoring every minute away from your desk. They often sent multiple emails to communicate a single point because they struggled to communicate clearly. High-visibility projects were consistently given to favorites, while the rest of the team was overlooked. They were also frequently condescending in team huddles and meetings. Based on my experience, they were never taught how to lead people effectively, and I'm genuinely surprised they're still in a management role.
