Pros

Working with talented people across the globe

Cons

Management's ability to lead and provide a safe, inclusive environment. Company markets this in their Diversity and Inclusion policies, but never seems to audit whether they are actually compliant with it. Especially if there are problems with upline executives. While they provide the advice to talk to HR, even if you formalize that, HR will never respond with actions taken or even follow up with you to see if the environment is better. HR has the EthicsPoint process, but even that is a dead-end for employees that look for help to have a respectful workplace. They just seem to want the problem to go away hoping that if they don't respond to an employee, the employee will just deal with it. That is NOT inclusive behavior!

Pros

Has good pay and benefits

Cons

Lots of corporate pandering. They don’t really care about sustainability or social justice initiatives, they just check the box and then under-fund them. Poor c-suite communication and quality people are leaving in droves.
