Pros

- Awesome pay - Awesome benefits - Fascinating work (at times) - Complex and interesting learning - Huge global experience

Cons

- Bipolar management, they talk about safety on the surface, but only really care about the bottom line - Very political - The span of control of many managers is extremely small. This makes decisions difficult to make and everything moves very slowly - Lots of work on making things look good versus doing great work - So many meaningless meetings. It's nearly impossible to get anything done with all of them.

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
