Pros

Large company so opportunities to work in various departments/units. Good benefits. There were some smart and caring people. Communications from senior management improved once company became public.

Cons

Favoritism exists - unless you were part of the "in" crowd, you were largely ignored. Performance measurement system that grades you on a curve does not promote team work but forces people to engage in backstabbing. Silos still existed.

Remote work and flex time.

Unrealistic workloads, constantly changing process for promotions, limited cross departmental communication or accountability, career stagnation in some departments, employees rated on bell curves for annual reviews.
