Pros

Generally a large opportunity to gain experience, but this is lessening.

Cons

Has placed wokeness ahead of most employees. Overt discrimination amongst white collar workers. Over the past 20 years, the company has actively hired woke directors and VP's that place social wokeness ahead of performance and they have systematically replaced most employees with DEI candidates that are marginally competent. Culture is bent to discourage most conservative principles. No chance for promotion unless you are selected from the DEI pool.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company culture - values diversity, authenticity, transparency. Wonderful, dedicated people. Lots of opportunities to learn and lead in different areas.

Cons

Frequent restructuring means that it is difficult to sustainably and efficiently drive forward momentum and for improvements to stick, which can be frustrating and cause lots of unnecessary stress. It also means that job stability is uncertain. At the end of the day, you are a number. Even high performance rating does not protect you from the frequent layoffs. If you work for them, make sure to have a strong network OUTSIDE the company so you can find a job when/if you leave.

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall good place to work.

Cons

RIF about every 3-4 years, mostly clearing out people who have been there a while. Not ever being able to return as part of the severance package. Promotions from within are allowed 5% salary increase, even if floor for new position well exceeds that. New hires including new grads often make salaries in the 10s of thousands more than people who have been there 20+ years.
