Pros

Lots of resources and many people to meet. Lots of talent and the ability to create amazing products.

Cons

For a 9 billion dollar company it seems many accounts lack the support they deserve from the hourly level to the manager level. It is uncomfortable when unrealistic expectations are set up for management and hourly associates.

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities for growth/movement are available (unfortunately it sometimes takes knowing the right person). Company has good values and Sr Management seems to have a good direction/goal for the company.

Cons

Lots of cliques amongst the managers, managers are very gossipy, when something goes wrong there is lots of finger pointing, lots of politics/red tape so some things take way longer to accomplish than they should.
