Pros

They buy cutting edge consulting companies and take them back in time a decade or 2? They give 1% raises while charging clients insane rates for your expertise? They cut bench time in half so you get laid off quicker? All processes take 5 times longer.(raises, counter offers, ect.)

Cons

They do not promote internal movement. Applying internally is almost as useless as applying externally through LinkedIn or their web portal. You either get denied or never hear back. Most companies will at least interview internal employees.

Pros

Lots of internal opportunities to experience different roles with different product sets. Many very talented and smart people.

Cons

Attrition Culture has deteriorated rapidly and continues to do so. Empty roles are not being backfilled. Subsequently, responsibilities are being picked up by other team members without extra pay… making everyone spread thin, stressed, and unhappy. Frequent product issues and/or historic issues with products that damaged the customer relationship and trust.
