Pros

Ample opportunities for experience in functional areas across the company; great retirement benefits (if you can handle 30+ years there).

Cons

Toxic culture; tone deaf, self-congratulatory senior management; company mindset seems stuck in the 1970s; lack of accountability.

Pros

Great people and strong coworkers across the organization. The company offers competitive pay, strong benefits, and good overall stability. There are many experienced employees who care about the work and are willing to help others succeed.

Cons

The organization can be very hierarchical, which sometimes makes it difficult to drive change or move quickly. Decisions often require multiple layers of approval, so it can take longer than expected to finalize direction or make progress. There is also limited flexibility compared to what many other companies offer, especially when it comes to working arrangements.
