Pros

The brand name carries weight on your resume and can open doors for future opportunities. For anyone looking to get a Fortune 500 name on their CV as a stepping stone, that value is real.

Cons

HR/Talent Acquisition is severely lacking. The hiring process took 2-3 months with little to no communication. Emails go unanswered and the only updates come when HR decides to call you, on their schedule. Salary offers are below industry standard, and management shows no willingness to negotiate even when presented with competing offers. If you have options, you may find smaller companies treat candidates with far more respect.
