Pros
Big enough to protect you from layoffs from downturns in economy. Good benefits. Looks great on the resume. If you can survive here, you can survive anywhere.
Cons
Come in high with your compensation ask because the raises are slim to none. It’s complete chaos that cannot be cured because of the “Day 1” thinking. Amount of hours worked is abusive. Extremely competitive and lots of people jockeying for power and control. 80% of teams are toxic. You have to manage up, a lot. Narcissistic and Machiavellian behaviors thrive here. There is a culling every year of 20%, even when teams contain all high performing employees. There is misogyny among some of the male leadership, as well as promotion of certain people based on loyalty and what they can do for the manager putting them up for promotion, rather than on merit. Political games on steroids. Watch your back here.
