Pros

The potential and scope of work is really massive because the company is so large and global. Internal mobility is relatively good.

Cons

It's a culture of bureaucracy and mediocrity where the path of least resistance is taken. This result is a patchwork of quick tactical fixes that unravel faster than it was put together. The overall quality of work is shockingly poor; despite small pockets of senior leaders who know what they are doing. Leaderships lacks subject matter knowledge and do not lean on subject matter experts to help make more informed decisions. Instead of the best ideas winning it becomes a political game of appeasing the most senior person in the room. Feedback goes nowhere really fast! There is a lot of change happening, which in itself is not a problem. However, the direction and execution leaves a lot to be desired.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
