Pros

Big company with a lot of opportunities to move around. You can get experience in many different functional areas without leaving the company. Great resume building company. Respectable name with the opportunity to learn several different skill sets in a short time.

Cons

ALL about hiring to increase "diversity"... Regardless of if the individual is qualified or a good fit for the job or not. This may be true in every Company this size right now, but benefits have taken a major hit across the board the past few years. Health Insurance is getting extremely expensive with less coverage. Hard to get materials you need to do the job. Lots of red tape and executive management approvals for even smaller cost items like computer monitors or projectors. Runs a matrix management type organization, so functional groups create and implement processes and procedures to allow their matrices to look good without considering what it does to other stakeholders in the organization. (Puts a bandaid on a problem rather than finding the root cause).

Pros

Decent benefits, high quality/moral teammates

Cons

Low pay. Overworked employees (most people are taking on multiple roles (usually would be the work/expectation of two, sometimes three or more employees/roles) with no increase in pay. Practically everyone eats lunch while they work. You are paid hourly and have to track your hours, ensuring every hour is given the appropriate charge code, even if you are a full-time "salaried employee". You are not allowed to work overtime without permission and working overtime is just more hours at your usual pay rate. Management is mostly incompetent. At my last one in one meeting with my manager, he said, "So, I gave essentially this same feedback in everyone's quarterly review. I expect you get more tasks done, to do them on time, and to start investing in AI." I actually called him out and said, "I need to push back on what you are asking of me because... I do an of that and more. Especially in regards to AI. You simply do not have enough time with the employees that you manage and...you don't know what we're doing." All he said was, "That's fair." and said things were changing with his latest project finishing up (it's been done for close to a month now. While there's more I could report on, those are probably the biggest concerns
