Pros

There are some great people on my team. People are generally very understanding, supportive, and have positive attitudes. The work is enjoyable. There is flexible PTO and actual work-life-balance.

Cons

Shared services are soooo slow. Good luck ever getting anything resolved by IT, legal, or accounts payable teams. This causes actual problems with products and stakeholders. Many systems are old and cumbersome. They don't fill positions when people leave, leading to larger workloads (without additional pay) and more outsourcing. Not a lot of growth opportunity.

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Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems.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.
