Pros

salary, benefits package, office spaces, employer branding

Cons

no work life balance, i felt that they do not actually follow the corporate values in practice and do not support their employees as described or expected based on branding and procedures. Too administrative roles and tasks in the hub.

Business Outlook

Pros

Some really good people to work with, very passionate about what they do. Depending the group you belong to, structure is pretty flat and you have opportunity to learn, cross train, and grow.

Cons

Reorg and strategy change pretty much every year. Better to update resume every 6 months because you’ll never know when you will be cut.
