Gossip and sabotage run rampant under managements nose. HR aware, but not on your side. If someone is doing something wrong, like stealing credit for another person's work, keep your mouth shut!

Pros

The group that I work with really invests in their employees and truly believes in inclusion and diversity. There is lots of emphasis on emerging leaders. The deliverables can be demanding at time but you get lots of support from this large corporation.

Cons

Sometimes I feel I am only connected in my group or sector and not with the company as a whole. It is too big with a diverse portfolio of projects. You have to put in some effort to see what the other groups are doing.
