Pros

A company with great culture, experience depends on the department and work alignment with leadership teams. Nice ERG groups to meet and strengthen connections with talented colleagues. Flexible working environment , generous paid time off policy. A great place to retire.

Cons

AI is said as a business priority but the strategy and evaluation bar are set in a way where it’s difficult to see AI adds any value. Extremely slow career progression. Compensation is very low for me given the department I am in.
