Pros

The benefits are above normal.

Cons

It makes you feel like you are part of a soulless machine beholden to Capitalism. I observed the attitude towards customers to be a transactional game of how little can we cooperate with the customer. While this company operates in a highly regulated industry, it also has a monopoly in many parts of it and charges accordingly for some of its less regulated offerings. There is also a lot of internal warfare between a number of departments. E.g. sales will sell the operational teams short to keep their commissions and the operational teams will withhold information to combat this. Also the various product teams appear to work in silos and will do all they can to avoid helping other ones more than they have to.

Pros

A very distinct culture of gritty, brilliant individuals. Very generous compensation. Lean org structure with access to the senior most leaders.

Cons

Not a company for those who aren't self starters. You will thrive here if you are diligent and independent.

Pros

Giant international corporation with unlimited resources. Multiple locations around the country and the globe with tons of jobs that are open for internal transfer (with some considerations). Generally high pay range.

Cons

Giant international corporations treat you as an unlimited resource. They use "Unlimited PTO" model for Sick and Vacation time, which I feel is a misnomer and a disingenuous concept as a whole. Unrealistic fixation on making employees use AI with no clear plan or direction on how it should happen.
