Pros

None after organizational changes complete

Cons

You would not think with a minority CEO there would be an environment of racism and toxicity. But ever since leadership transferred into our BU this year, this has become the absolute worst place to work. Leadership and HR actively trying to protect the perpetrator while espousing a zero-tolerance policy. Avoid this place at all costs and if you work here, consider looking elsewhere asap.
