Pros

Amazing benefits package. Competitive compensation. Great place to kickstart a soaring career. Very stable, secure company that has built a lasting legacy. If you find the right team, you can become very successful.

Cons

Cutthroat performance review system that pits employees against each other in competition for bonuses and promotions. In the right groups it works well to incentivize excellence. In some it is toxic and full of politics. The company is making some good changes recently but it is still the same stack ranking system underneath. Work/life balance can get bulldozed over if you're not careful to create clear boundaries for yourself.
