Pros

Genuinely great colleagues, large company with plenty of opportunities to learn and move sideways. Fantastic flexible working, good technology support, great HR, particularly for people managers. Some great business resource groups and diversity is championed.

Cons

Compensation is benchmarked against the market, but not always competitive for existing employees. Once you're in the door you can definitely move up but often not with the money you'd get by making the same move externally. Plenty of other benefits and great managers make a difference but it's worth negotiating well in the first instance. There can be a disconnect between the messaging from very senior leadership and the reality 'on the ground'.

Pros

Great benefits, lots of emphasis on wellness, health, healthy food in cafeteria, diversity and inclusion, employee surveys, flexible working is encouraged, easy hours, great if you have a long commute and a family. Great for young people.

Cons

Static management structure, hard to get promoted, hard to get recognition for making money for the company as they are more interested in networking and politics. Easy to get lazy as there is little incentive to perform. Goals are a mystery. Not great for ambitious senior staff - they do not stick around.
