Pros

Large company with plenty of resources. Pay was good.

Cons

Frequent structural reorganizations made it hard to know who to talk to. Lack of structured training and no real guidance or feedback. Performance concerns were not handled in the moment with direct communication instead escalated to formal write ups (terrible employee management). They also play favorites and exclude people that aren't in the club. Corporate always claimed to be there when needed but was impossible to get anything when the time came.

Pros

Great cafeteria that is cheap

Cons

Pay under market, office drama and politics is constant, leadership plays by their own rules with no regulation, boys club and “wild Wild West” type culture
