Pros

Really nice people. Huge scale of responsibility. A lot of opportunities to try different asignment and change locations/positions within the company.

Cons

Not much space to grow vertically. You may stuck in one role for quite long, but will be able to shift left and right. Huge bureaucracy. Takes long time from idea to action. Unclear areas of responsibility (cross functional). You need to find your way to make things happen. As usually in PM role, a lot of responsability (end to end), with very limited authority to make decisions. Sometimes, you have to align with dozens of people before making a steps. But this really depends on the team and area. There could also be more dynamic/agile teams.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
