Pros

The good news is that some areas have a positive work environment. Although its definitely dependent on what organization/division you land in. The ability to move inside of the company once you're admitted is good.

Cons

The new near elimination of work-from-home/remote policies seem to be one of the biggest mistakes Robert Ford has made, on top of other misadvised moves. Additionally, many DEI moves are lip service only, and certain areas still maintain a very toxic work environment. Upper management is predominantly white and male. There is a certain amount of suppression of upwards criticism that goes on, and the employee networks have been censored to some extent. Lots of issues with IT and disparate systems.
