Pros

Great training, great colleagues, ethical environment. Decision making is too complicated, with too many silent vetos. The company needs to simplify its processes and reduce layers. Will be difficult to do this while increasing opportunities for all of the great talent that is within the company. Senior leaderships is doing a great job, with an increased focus on diversity of experiences in senior management roles. The challenge is to simplify without making to autocratic. This is made more complicated due to the global nature of the company. There is risk that smaller, nubmler companies may grow faster in the near term.

Cons

very process-oriented, too much complexity in decision making.

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
