Pros

Opportunity to work on big, iconic brands. Almost everyone that works here is very smart. You are surrounded by amazing people. Nice HQ benefits (auto service center, workout facility, health facility, bank, etc)

Cons

Leadership is blind to what is holding the organization back from real change. It's a popularity contest for career progression--the people you know and the game you play seem to be more important than the work you put out. Culture is riddled with 'demand for transparency' without any actual transparency. Candor is viewed as 'whining' or bad attitude.
