Pros

Good retirement package and health benefits.

Cons

Global leadership is terrible, HR head in North America is cold and defensive. Fall in line, don’t speak up, don’t be proactive, don’t make waves, don’t give feedback, don’t disturb the status quo. They preach values for workforce to apply while leadership could not care less unless you are in some inner circle. Very difficult to make any positive contributions with roadblocks and red tape every step of the way. Culture is very toxic and feeling overworked is the norm. Almost no chance for promotions and company will use you and string you along without caring about your growth.

Pros

The people I worked alongside were the best part of the job.

Cons

While my early experience was positive, my experience changed significantly over time. Communication and the application of workplace policies became less consistent, and the work environment felt increasingly micromanaged. Workplace changes and employee transitions were not always handled in a way that felt transparent or consistent. In my experience, compensation and annual raises did not keep pace with employee contributions or expectations. I also believe the company could do more to recognize and support long-term employees, especially during periods of change. It was a reminder that the end of an employee’s experience often reflects the culture just as much as the beginning.
