Pros

At least in my BU, people are extremely helpful and truly care about each other. You will have tons of support and resources.

Benefits are amazing (compared to smaller companies I have worked at).

A very welcoming and inclusive environment.

Cons

On large calls, Management is spending as much time on equality issues (BLM, Stop Asian Hate, LGBTQ, or whatever is making headlines that week/month).

Firstly, it's too much time on the subject, and secondly, it seems like it's "Flavor of the day" Equality. I would rather spend the time learning about work-related topics. I am involved in equality learning and action outside of work.

It's extremely hard at first to find resources internally when you have problems to solve; there is so much information available. After a year or so...

Advice to Management

Simplify internal content management. Spend a bit less time on Social Issues on internal calls.
