Pros

- Good opportunity for growth depending upon the position - Decent benefits - Plenty of choices between different departments for job opportunities

Cons

- Leadership pays a lot of lip service to work/life balance, but is forcing all US employees back to the office in July after 4 years being successfully remote, with little to no exceptions. When requesting an exception they are purposely making it a near impossible process. They care little about folks individual circumstances and pretend to CARE (their motto). As with other organizations we are given the usual excuses of added "collaboration", which is a joke, as we are doing the very same thing in the office that we do more efficiently at home. This will increase our out of pocket expenses immensely, after already facing inflationary pressures and poor yearly raises that don't keep up with inflation. - The DEI structure does the very opposite of what it purports to accomplish and has become exceedingly political. If you have a different perspective suddenly your "inclusion" is questioned. The entire approach is divisive and should be abandoned for a framework that focuses on enhancing employees abilities, training and personal growth.

Pros

Large enterprise environment with exposure to complex network infrastructure, major vendors, data centers, WAN, firewalls, and large-scale operational processes. There are good people on the team, and the environment itself can give you visibility into how a large company manages network services.

Cons

The Network Engineering role is not really hands-on network engineering. Much of the actual technical work, implementation, configuration, and deeper engineering execution is handled by HCL. Internally, the role can feel more like vendor coordination, ticket chasing, and driving HCL than actually owning and engineering the network yourself. If you are expecting to configure, troubleshoot deeply, build solutions, implement changes, and stay technically hands-on, this role may be disappointing. It can feel less like being a network engineer and more like being an HCL babysitter with a network engineering title
