      Kind of a disaster for such a big name

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company looks good on resume, depending on your department some people a nice to work with

      Cons

      There are a lot of office politics and you get promotions based on who you know and who likes you and not on merit or your qualifications. It’s also very political if you want to change departments, you have to tell your manager that you’re interviewing with another department which can be very awkward and in some cases damaging to your career. Most managers and above have all started with nbc entry level and have never worked anywhere else and they aren’t very good at helping you develop professionally because in reality they don’t really have a lot of experience because they’ve spent their whole careers on one track in one company.
