Pros

The company sets a very high standard in terms of dealing with customers and vendors with honesty and integrity. The company values work-life balance, continuous learning and employee safety.

Cons

Being a very large and complex organization, management decisions take a while to trickle down the organization, its customers, partners and vendors.
