Pros

There's an air of willingness to listen to new ideas, accept new technologies and advances while still staying true to time-tested processes before implementation. Very thoughtful way of implementing change for such a large company. There are several different, branching career opportunities to explore, especially due to global presence and the varied businesses therein.

Cons

Training programs could stand some unification and standardization. There are significant efforts in certain areas/business units to keep employees on the cutting edge of their respective fields, but that scope should be broadened to all employees. As a company, we should be constantly striving to be better than anyone else at our jobs (not just competent) no matter what those jobs are or where. We should be the company to which others compare themselves.

Pros

Since the company is big, it's a great opportunity for networking, learning new skills, and earning certificates after completing hazard safety training that you can use in the future as well (especially if you're working with Unity Lab Services). Coworkers are usually nice and will always lend a hand if you need it. If you're lucky, you might be placed at a one-person site where the site supervisor is chill and understanding, lets you work at your own pace, and helps you learn new things by giving you "side quests."

Cons

No real career growth. The workload can be hard to keep up with at times, and the company strictly enforces an 8-hour workday with no overtime, even when needed. Day-to-day operations feel heavily micromanaged by upper management through strict policies. HR introduces new policies almost monthly, often adding tasks that feel unnecessary. They frame this as becoming "more data-driven," but in practice, it hasn't led to much noticeable improvement.
