Pros

Well established company with a reputation for quality products. The company is so huge that they probably have a solution for just about any interconnect issue. Most of the people are very friendly and overall it's a collaborative work environment.

Cons

Company is so huge and fragmented that it is very difficult to navigate across business units. Also, top management has not incentified people to work together across product groups (people are judged on how well they do on trade business and not interco). Hopefully you've started with a high salary because raises are extremely hard to get. Also, if you're an indian instead of a chief be prepared for long hours, they cut costs by laying people off and have not adjusted it back up with the rebounding of the business.

Pros

Broadly a good company if you’re in a senior decision making role.

Cons

HR policies are words only. Years go by without ability to take any PTO and carry over not allowed. Friday afternoons, all HR US employees stop working with all others working past normal business hours and into the weekend including late Friday asks to complete an action by Monday 8:00 AM that was known earlier in the week but only communicated to the employee after Friday business hours. Every Friday. Onboarding structure / sink or swim approach, no training. No sense of belonging unless you’ve worked here 20 years plus. No growth or development opportunities unless tapped on the shoulder. Many openings are never published, again tapped on the shoulder approach despite offering to volunteer. Dismissive company culture. Every Voice Counts initiative is code for: if you do share your voice, you are on a list to not consider for promotion or any projects that would give you more visibility across the organization to foster one’s growth.
