Pros
-if you’re a trader you can do well here. Everyone else recommend view your time at this company as a resume builder. -talented people still exist, coworkers were the best part of my time there. Unfortunately many are no longer there. -many different businesses for career exploration -huge multinational player with influence in many markets -pay and benefits competitive but not outstanding -looks good on resume, I learned a lot and developed quite a bit in my career that prepared me for my next step. -recent layoffs bring opportunities for young professionals
Cons
-culture is a shadow of what it was when I started decade+ ago. Some Individual people managers may still care but I can assure you the company does not despite whatever plateaus are leveled to the employees. Totally untrustworthy leadership. -privately held is a double edge. The next generation of family is clearly focused on their annual payout and eating up whatever BS the executives are feeding them. Health of business and pride in company is secondary. You used to see family members actively involved in the company, that’s but a distant memory. -This company makes billions and yet the message over and over is to plead poverty. -Sustainability is a buzzword but not a lot of concrete evidence it’s taken seriously. Really good at deflecting scrutiny in this area.
