Pros

Company culture is good, friendly people to work with

Cons

Management compensates for their flaws by being very controlling (not given any schedule freedom, watching the clock, texting/being on the phone is frowned upon, restrictions on who you can talk to/what you can say outside the group and on emails). Manager loses temper, is quick to call you out in front of the team, but never in front of other teams as it makes him look bad. Makes the working environment hostile. A lot of this seems to be happening at the director level and higher levels too.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
