Pros

Corporate culture, career advancement, benefits, people, travel. I was given so many great opportunities to work and travel all over the world and have made a multitude of lifelong friends.

Cons

horrible HR managers, no 360 reviews, inept senior managers. Many managers also do not have a work life balance, nor do they care if their reports have one either. I was actually told by one of my managers that I should put the company before my marriage.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
