Pros
Attracted very smart and talented people Strong and recognizable brand Competitive wages when bonus was paid out at 100% of target Great DEI programs (I had participated in a BIPOC women program) Access to large store of educational content via LinkedIn Learning and in-house programming (although having the time to complete them was a different story)
Cons
Poor executive leadership (note that I can only speak for People & Culture) lacking strategy and alignment, causing an incredibly negative ripple effect down to those tasked with implementing work Senior leadership was incredibly political with each head of division building empire vs trying to do the best for the company and employee experience So much time and money wasted with work efforts conflicting against and negating each other or farmed out to very expensive consultants that were not effective Long hours and hustle culture (speaking to my experience in Manager+ roles) Career opportunities were zero for remote workers (which is the reason for the 1/5 rating there)
