Pros

Georgia-Pacific's biggest asset is it's people. The people are great! Georgia-Pacific is an large company--it's very different from working at a small to medium company. There's more career security at Georgia-Pacific since the company is doing well financially. There is room to grow your career at Georgia-Pacific. It's not automatic and you really have to work for it. It does take a great time of time to get raises and promotions.

Cons

It's a big company--it can be difficult to navigate your way around the politics and the complexity. It takes some time to figure out how the company is organized. We you first get there--you have to be a self-starter to get everything you need to get all the things you need to do your job. Since, G-P is a large company, it's really not very flexible or bleeding-edge innovative. Don't expect to have the latest, greatest computers or computer software.

Pros

HQ located in a convenient part of Atlanta. Culture is value focused. Work/life balance may be a the best you could hope for. GP has a made a culture shift since being acquired by Koch Industries and is currently making and investment in internal innovation.

Cons

Career progress and tutoring could be slower than many expect. Groups are very scilo-ed and not much sharing is done between work groups.
