Pros

Culture, work life balance, health benefits, 401k match, sick leave. The work is interesting and the people are great. There are many different business areas, so depending on your expertise, you could move around within the company if you want.

Cons

Silos, career development can be unclear and poorly managed depending on who you report to, unclear job expectations depending on your management, unclear path to progress or promotion depending on management, long term employees are paid less and have not been brought up to market value. The cons are more so related to upper management not advocating or helping their team progress. I’ve had some managers who are wonderful, and others that were not when it came to development. It really depends on the team and the department you are part of. The company is huge and it’s easy to get pushed to the side if you do not advocate for yourself and build an internal network.
