Pros

Work life balance is decent for a large demanding corporation. Rotational programs to get you experience. Friendly people. Long time veterans here that add a lot to training and overall experience. Many onsite perks and amenities.

Cons

averse to change. Slow change. not enough diversity of thought. seeking to heavily standardize job roles and responsibilities. a lot of mistrust about things management is doing. Recent reorgs. Mature competitive industry. extremely detail oriented. too many laters of management. complicated and not very transparent promotion path. arbitrary 'developmental opportunity roles' expected to pacify your goals of leadership. Form opinions/judgments of others are difficult to overcome.

Pros

Always busy with challenging work.

Cons

Office politics slows things down, seems like some of the work is about checking a box and not about really creating value or improved processes.
