Pros

Good people to work with- most are hard working some have been coasting for decades. Potential for exposure to other business units and functions but you have to really drive the desire to learn outside your own role.

Cons

Extreme bureaucracy and lower than average pay for tenure. Business units have "favorites" that they promote, something they call the nine box. Horrific promotion schedule and not enough women in executive leadership roles.

Pros

- Large company with global presence - Great people and supportive work culture

Cons

- No women in top leadership - Inconsistent policies on flexible/remote work arrangements - Growing initiative underway to outsource IT, finance & HR is resulting in a growing 'brain drain' and low morale for those who remain. Other large companies in metro have done this in past and later realized they went too far, only to return to hiring locally (e.g. Best Buy). - Technology in most businesses is bare-bones, whatever ERP system is needed (e.g. SAP), little innovation beyond this.
