Pros

Great pay and benefits are competitive in feild. Decent opportunities for vertical or lateral career growth. Due to company large size, global job opportunities (though primarily US). Very supportive work culture. Most are willing to help and/or teach when asked. Good job for anyone who is capable of performing and scheduling tasks with minimal oversight. Honestly really enjoy working here

Cons

Training program is disorganized, but improving in the last two years. Management is sometimes a mixed bag, haven't had any "bad" managers, but how involved or how much they help you/guide you can vary significantly. My first manager, I talked to about 4 times a year, and no real feedback on performance. My second manager, meet with every other week and have good dialogue on performance and goals. While it is a nice environment to ask for and receive help (and guidance) from fellow co-workers, it is more true for those in your own department. Interdepartmental communication still leaves a decent amount to be desired. Due to poor interdepartmental communication, can lead to delays or confusion in determining work priorities. If you are unable to create and determine your own schedule and priorities, or follow up and keep on top of projects to keep them moving between departments, then this may not be a great fit for you.

Pros

Chaotic environment forces quick growth. Treat it as a resume builder and then find a more stable opportunity.

Cons

Constant backorders due to poor management. Likely to have more changes in leadership team(s) than years spent at the company. Unethical leaders that act like high school bullies and cling to titles rather than create a supportive environment. Employees constantly left in the dark due to lack of meetings or failure of leaders to even learn what their teams are working on. Constant reorgs with no consideration of impact to teams or business continuity. Frequent cases of falsified performance reviews to push out whistleblowers with complicit HR teams. Quality policy is a joke. RTO push to high COL areas with no relocation support, onboarding, seat and laptop assignment - only to lay off entire teams within a year just to repost the same position and ask laid off employees to re-apply.
