Pros

most staff are excellent, training is excellent, opportunities for international travel are there (although not always)

Cons

lots of procedures, safe, mostly a good thing but sometimes to the point of ridiculousness (particularly for office activities), very prescriptive in their career paths- once you are in one stream it's very hard to switch

Pros

Competitive salary and benefits package, very large integrated company, focuses a lot on D&I, job progression, work-life balance for parts of the company

Cons

Work life balance for other parts of the company (i.e manufacturing), unfair salary ranges across the company, favoritism, ill-qualified managers and refusal to change bad mistakes

It can be hectic at times but always something new to work on.

Pros

The benefits are on par with other companies of this size. Performance is rewarded and there are constant opportunities to expand and grow. Management is transparent and open to new ideas.

Cons

As a typical large company they are slow to change and frequently rehash/rename old programs that didn't work the first time around.
