Pros

  • Generally transparent leadership and good culture for a mega-corp
Cons
  • Bogged down by crazy red tape and bureaucracy.
  • Super high bar for promotion, which will lead to down-leveling upon entering.
  • Lower compensation for the same level/years of experience when compared to competitors.
