Pros

You will be able to attempt application of many concepts that were discussed during your educational journey. There are many networking opportunities at the main campus.

Cons

In part because of the many levels it seems like we are always playing an inning and a half behind the current pitch. Often paths/methods are chosen that simply do not work well and are continued until the champion's of the original idea are promoted or move onto their next endeavor.

Pros

processes are clear and sound. many different roles to choose from with a few years experience. Work life balance is great and flexible working environment when needed.

Cons

If you get into the club and promote yourself you can move fast. it is not about results it is about networking. being different is not looked at positively, it is more important to fit it.

Great developmental experience

Pros

Challenging roles, individual development, smart and talented co-workers, well-known brands and some very strong leaders.

Cons

Recognition and advancement are based less on performance and results and more on relationships and style. Work and communication style is a very important factor in your "success". Alignment and efficiency are also weaknesses in parts of this organization.
