Pros

Large, stable company with decent benefits Great people to work with Lots of potential for career growth Ample opportunity to learn and grow

Cons

Publicly traded (strict SOX rules - stay in your lane thinking) Lots of second chances for under-performing employees (frustrating if it is your co-worker) You must be flexible with changes, but that is a plus that they are willing to change direction if necessary
