Pros

- An established brand with over a170- year history - good global programs for career growth and development - supportive manager - salary is good

Cons

- too many changes in the organization, and it happens way too often - too many layoffs, especially for contractors; even top executives are getting laid off - you can never be sure that your role is safe. There is a constant fear that you can be let go - age of the company shows based on the leaders they hire (boomer-led company) - lack of innovation has led the company to play catch-up with its competitors - not much flexibility to work-from-home
