Pros

A good learning experience and an opportunity to build on the skills that I had. Small business units so everyone knew each other which was helpful.

Cons

My position was eliminated after a year because management was elusive when I was hired. I was sat by myself for the first few months with no access to coworkers. In this job market I would've taken a contract position because I would've known the job was ending in a year. I would've continued to seek a full time position instead of assuming there was job stability in the department.

Pros

Decent benefits Hybrid WFH schedule Some really great direct managers

Cons

Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems. Work performance and output not generally recognized: people who do very little work are often paid the same, or more than people who do double or triple the workload, and are allowed to continue with the company while other shoulder the load. Once you are on a team or part of a BU - good luck making a move to another team or BU. The place is a revolving door for a lot of positions, but once you learn a skillset they are unlikely to allow a move. The sales team runs this place, so be prepared to be bullied constantly by them, even when you are told to gatekeep.
