Business Outlook

Pros

Some really smart people across the company and sometimes interesting projects.

Cons

Horrible culture, extremely hierarchical and full of nepotism. On-site it may be a little better, but corporate function culture is very cloak and dagger, driven by hierarchy and without opportunity for employees downstream to feel heard.
