Great Company Depending on Your Objectives
Pros
Great benefits, excellent medical coverage, cool perks, respected industry leader, tons of intelligent colleagues, optimism is celebrated, 6 week sabbatical after 6 years tenure. If you work for the company for a lifetime, you can go far... but you will go faster and further at a smaller company
Cons
Cultish devotion to company is encouraged, promotions and opportunities are distributed corresponding to leadership favorites, there's a lot of backstabbing, and perceptions of your peers are given more weight than your actual accomplishments. If you aren't picked to work on an opportunity, you won't be recognized for your accomplishments. New employees are paid at a higher rate than experienced counterparts. The cost of living raises do not reflect the actual cost of living increases, therefore, you are making less money the longer you work there. You are paid below industry standards, so you will have a hard time explaining that in new interviews. You can not voice a perspective that conflicts with leadership or you will be punished.
