Pros

Market leader in the businesses in which they participate. Focus on creating value for customers and investors -- through revenue growth and cost containment. Consistent corporate culture due to continuity of leadership over the last 50 years (3 CEOs). Data-driven approach minimizes politics, at least as much as can be expected.

Cons

Culture does differ by business unit and division. Your experience in one location can be drastically different from another. Performance evaluation process is weak.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
