Pros

Smart people, good management, and a company that's focused on helping people and the planet. Reasonable pay and benefits and a flexible schedule for many employees.

Cons

It's a big and diverse company, so your mileage way vary. It can be hard to find mentors and make sense of the org charts and corporate speak in such a large organization. It seems to be getting harder and harder for lower-level employees to advance, which can be demoralizing.

Pay, No much room for upward mobility. If you are a high performer, you'll struggle as the structure rewards years spent in the company vs level of expertise or experience.
