Pros

Great healthcare. Decent benefits. Easy with great work life balance. Loved most of the people I worked with!

Cons

Constant restructure, new leaders/managers every year, projects always lose funding, no budget for anything (literally anything) in the shared services in corporate. Layoffs 2x a year, sometimes more. It takes two years to hire a role once approved for the headcount. Very slow to promote. I got laid off after five years.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
