Pros

little accountability, poor job of talent management so lots of dead weight being carried (great if you want to coast)

Cons

salary and benefits not competitive with other majors, management's perception of how things appear is much more important than reality, highly political culture--it's not what you know or how well you do your job that counts--it's who you know

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
