Pros

The benefits and pay are one of the best around. There was a hold on merit increases last year for regular joes, but it has been lifted this year.

Cons

There are some departments where the leaders have been promoted to their highest level of incompetence - and they continue to promote people like themselves. Those individuals prefer you to live shoulder deep in their colons, while individuals with scruples get pushed out or discriminated against, while HR lives in the backpockets of the offenders. Other ethically reprehensible behavior is swept under the rug and later those offenders are promoted. Not much to say in the last 3 yrs around internal talent growth and development. Favoritism is rewarding for those who can manage to secure it. However, there has just been another round of leadership change internally and the morale is poised for a promising upswing. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

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.
