Pros

Great opportunities for advancement and personal growth. Strong emphasis on leadership development and the company provides a platform to help employees develop.

Cons

Top down culture. Communication could be much better. Email and powerpoint are used much to often. Can be somewhat challenging to "fit in" if you are an experienced hire.

Pros

Great benefits I work with some of the best people in the industry, through cross functional team and assignments. Truly fun to work here.

Cons

Hard to move up without moving to another location or playing the political games needed. Immediate managers looking or ways to move up, less concerned about building the team.

Pros

It is a pretty fun job, you get to work with a bunch of intelligent individuals and you rotate jobs to gain a decent knowledge of the company as a whole. Dress is business casual, and summer Fridays are shorter hours.

Cons

Somewhat political, hard to get a promotion. It is a really big company.
