Pros

Flexible work schedule if you are part of any supervisory role. Challenging work environment. Great place to get your "feet wet" in a Fortune 500 company and learn the ins and outs of corporate politics.

Cons

Lay offs were like clockwork at the end of every fiscal year (April). Vision and strategy of the company would COMPLETELY change direction based on mid year financial projections. This often meant the customer got the short end of the stick. Good ol boys club at Executive mgmt level with a huge amount of alpha females in all depts. who would not hesitate to backstab/sell out team members on their way up the ladder. Lot's of silos even though we were always told that they had been broken down. Taking time off was encouraged publicly but privately it was strongly "suggested" that you work from home/vacation or else your job might be deemed expendable. Very much a "what have you done for me lately" environment at times.

Pros

Decent salary & benefits, monthly no internal meeting days

Cons

Friendly reminder that HR does not care about you. They care about staff with seniority, whom they will allow to retaliate despite that being against company policies. Think twice about reporting the higher ups because it will come back to haunt you, guaranteed. Also, AI is the only thing that matters anymore. Watching the volume of once-impressive colleagues become so single and simple minded through constant AI usage is not only disappointing but genuinely alarming. Thinking for oneself is no longer the standard, it seems, and speaking against such unfettered use of AI in all things will get you professionally ostracized.
