Pros

Compensation, benefits, pride of working at a well known brand, work like balance, new hires are way nicer. Your experience there (good or bad) depends on the team you’re on.

Cons

The company functions on politics, you have to know someone who knows someone to move up the ladder. Most people who have been there 5+ years think they are better than the rest, creating a toxic culture and they fail to be inclusive. Growth is really really slow, and HR doesn’t do anything about it or about the bad apples. They don’t value young talent and take advantage of them.
