It really depends on which dept you are in. Some dept is very friendly and well managed, some are really nasty and you would be surprised that someone is controlling dept way back to 1900s

Range of creative, scientific, business, supply chain and support jobs. Global experience and mobility opportunities (at mid to high level positions). Good health benefits compared to many other companies. Company is strong financially and growing financially (but opportunities are being filled by outside talent, not internally)
Cons
Pervasive clique-oriented culture and sink-or-swim for those not in a protected group, both which play key roles in advancement opportunities. Perception and network matters more than individual results.
Inequitable distribution of heads to sites in dire need.
Poor HR environment for quality employee support, growth, and development. Burnout becoming very pervasive, with company asking for more-and-more.
IS systems are cumbersome and poorly designed...creative more inefficiency instead of solving efficiency issues.
