Pros
Large company with lots of opportunity for growth. If you demonstrate value and are flexible with your goals they work hard to keep you around even in slow periods. Very organized and structured which some don’t like but it makes it easier to integrate compared to company with low structure. Always something new to learn. Work life balance is better than other places in industry….not expected to work long hours or stay after hours for “team building”. Lots of options to specialize in your area and not be constantly pressured to take on leadership/stretch roles.
Cons
Won’t commit to hybrid work schedule, project management generally opposed to it even though most employees want more flexibility. Worksharing with other offices can make work hours difficult. If you come in on low range of pay scale can take years to catch up. In the past the work culture and work-life balance was very different depending on your project management team, might be more consistent now but still can vary (IE one project may be very flexible with schedules where another is very old-school “must be in office” management style).
