Pros

Used to be the best employees anywhere Internationally recognized brands that are in nearly every home. Large scale operations Beautiful main campus with many amenities. Excellent work/life balance for headquarters employees.

Cons

Mature, low growth business Major layoffs every 2 years on average for the last decade. Layoffs communicated via mass emails, even for employees with 25 years in the company. Extreme 'woke' culture that has adopted critical race theory to justify sex, race, and orientation discrimination. Zero tolerance for anything but far left politics. Diversity and inclusion efforts focus mainly on virtue signaling and not in on improving inclusivity. Dishonest Senior leadership Flattened organization provides few opportunities for advancement No professional development outside of affinity groups Very slow to make decisions Most roles have a very narrow scope Plants are generally not in favorable location Performance appraisal system designed to minimize wage and incentive growth.
