      Great Company if you are in the product sector. Stay away from Marketing and Editorial

      Pros

      Employees there are very genuine and helpful. It’s the workers that offset so many deficiencies at this extremely large company.

      Cons

      Communication is atrocious; management is disconnected from workers and the projects they are working on; frequent change of mind, direction and planning has eroded employee confidence in management.
