Great company, if you have thick skin for politics
Great company, if you have thick skin for politics
Lots of smart people, different groups with different work environments, great benefits and offices.
Good compensation in general.
Built around a declining business model, and it is noticeable. At some point, you can't keep growing without getting bruised with politics. If you're not politically talented, you will at least need to have a high tolerance for it and know to stay away from people's destructive paths. Switching jobs internally is not simple, and upper management can easily block you using obscure rules.
Make internal transfer easier. It's ridiculous that it's easier to go work for the competition than for another group.
