Pros

Great projects, good exposure to new technology, most people are great to work with, great benefits even though it may take awhile to get them (specifically senior benefits).

Cons

Employees are promoted to senior level yet have NO skills to manage. Almost every skilled employee left the company so upper management promoted bottom of the barrel folks. Focused on cost cutting so critical enhancements are removed from scope and projects are rushed to meet deadline resulting in poor quality of work. Most IT work is outsourced, yet the company does not recognize or consider culture differences in their work, then blames them for not delivering. Since management pushes for quick delivery, once-great-employees no longer do their best to get the job done, they are no longer willing to help when issues arise, and they start pointing fingers at others.

Pros

* Strong brand recognition and opportunity to work on large-scale marketing initiatives. * Exposure to technical subject matter and cross-functional collaboration. * Good place to learn how large enterprise organizations operate.

Cons

I joined in a hybrid role where flexibility was an important factor in accepting the position and making personal life decisions. Within about a year, the organization moved to a full return-to-office model. While companies can change workplace policies, the transition felt abrupt and inconsistent in practice. A recurring challenge was that expectations around in-office presence did not always appear to match day-to-day reality. Remote participation still occurred for meetings and operational needs, which created confusion around when flexibility was acceptable and when it was not. Within my department, I also experienced challenges around communication and collaboration. Feedback on projects sometimes arrived late or only after priorities had shifted, and in some cases work was reassigned or substantially changed without clear involvement from the original contributor. Public criticism of work product without prior coaching made it difficult to improve or feel ownership over deliverables. Leadership communication during organizational changes often felt more focused on compliance than employee concerns. Employees raising questions about work arrangements sometimes perceived limited space for open discussion. Over time, the combination of reduced flexibility, inconsistent application of expectations, and limited recognition of specialized contributions negatively affected morale and trust.
