Pros

You get reliably paid without weird financial loops. The aspirations of senior execs are exemplary. Ideals appeared laudable.

Cons

The reality is that nobody in the company cares about ideals, morality, trust, or collaboration. It is and has always been a microworld of power struggles. If you do not have power, you will be raped, figuratively and literally.

The company keeps questionable people in leadership positions. HR will not help rank-and-file employees; their main mission is to protect the business unit kingdoms.

Be warned: the culture empowers people in power to "rape." HR will protect them; what they preach is all smoke and mirrors. As long as the company has money and makes more, anything is tolerated and covered up.
