Pros

A great brand, generous benefits, and lots of ambition to do new things on a global scale.

Cons

Low accountability for poor performing employees, entrenched middle management resistant to change, very bureaucratic organization, highly political with big decisions made for the wrong reasons, and doesn't hesitate to ask employees to work nights and weekends.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
