Pros

Many resources to connect and learn from teammates. Decent insurance and other compensation, not great, not terrible. Plenty of opportunity to see technology updates with a safety net of IT support.

Cons

Just as jaded and snarky as any other workplace, including the management level. Communication is more than plentiful, just not always accurate or earnest. Feedback is kept to only positives, so you don't know you need improvement until it's way too late to fix your reputation.

Pros

Huge network, a lot of possibilities if you can connect with the right people

Cons

Very matrixed, difficult to get things done due to layers of management. Management varies wildly from division to division and then again at a corporate level.
