Pros

Great benefits, good company culture, advancement opportunities

Cons

In the field, you can have some really bad managers. They do not follow policies but upper management doesn’t know. There is a lot of tracking and doing activities just to meet metrics instead of doing what is needed. Managers can really make or break your job based on who they liked which is really only if they hired you.

The leadership is great and will support for any long term career growth objectives.

Change takes time, but considering the size of the company, no surprise there.
