Pros

Huge company with plenty of career paths to take. Tons of training and opportunity to grow. Work from home part of the time. Tuition assistance, great healthcare benefits, plenty of vacation time to start off with. Overall a decent place to work with great growth potential.

Cons

They seem to be constantly changing, which is a good and bad thing. There seems to be more and more layoffs lately, and it's getting harder to secure career paths without shortly finding out those positions are ending or moving without relocation benefits. Also seems to have a lot of nepotism among the management level which makes it hard to advance without being buddy-buddy with people.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
