Pros

Education benefits (currently covering 50%) of tuition for approved schools Consistent profitability Defined career progression within the Controllers organization Opportunities to work at a variety of divisions and countries in a variety of positions while building seniority and vesting for pension.

Cons

Limited authority to make decisions at any level below Controller Senior Management directs actions and strategies without (or with limited) input from professional staff. This is very dissatisfying as we have often already set the course of action being recommended, but now management believes we are taking these actions because we were directed, there is no recognition that we can contribute as a team. Inadequate, aging computer equipment. While this does not prevent me from doing my job it significantly lessens my effectiveness and efficiency. Poor to non-existent work / life balance. No recognition from management of the additional efforts in additional time and weekends worked to meet increasing workload and compensate for poor systems capability.

Pros

Wonderful internship experience. I truly enjoyed every aspect of the internship, from the people and team culture to the meaningful projects and great location. It was an incredibly positive learning experience, and I would highly recommend working there.

Cons

While the business professional dress code may not be for everyone, I personally didn’t mind it and felt it contributed to the professional environment.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
