      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Big brand name of the employer is still valued by recruiters, so it work for you when you will leave. People are quite friendly on average, but as in many big companies most of them lack inner drive to push things forward. Look for those who push forward their ideas and learn from them, they are more and more scarce type.

      Cons

      Lots of useless meetings with no clear agenda and unclear potential impact on goals. KPIs not connected to business goals and financial results. You will have to proactively seek feedback and your manager will most likely don't understand what you are looking for. Employee competency development is just a formality and happy talk with no clear evaluation mechanism of progress.

      Pros

      Location is easily accessible via public transportation.

      Cons

      A group of executive assistants constantly falsely accused an African American woman of stealing, and they also conspired to have her terminated. One of the c-suite she supported co-signed their actions. Later, the ringleader was forced to retire or be terminated.
