      Pros

      Compensation was fine for the industry.

      Cons

      Notified I was being laid off at 10 am. Access revoked to computer by noon. No prior notice given, no reason given other than "business performance" and needing to reduce costs. Business strategy is inorganic growth through market monopolization from acquiring competitors. "Diversity initiative" includes hiring white women in non-customer facing roles. No strategy involving sustainability in any impactful, measurable way.

      Pros

      There are not any pros.

      Cons

      In my experience this was an awful place to work. The top few management in Accounting and Finance are arrogant and, as far as I am concerned, not qualified. I have seen them degrade and make fun of their own employees in meetings. I have seen a lot more that I cannot even disclose here. They do not care about their employees. For me it destroyed my mental and physical health.

      Pros

      Great global exposure, if you are able to get to a certain level in the company, or be part of the "good ole boys club".

      Cons

      Traditional viewpoint on work. Inability to take feedback or try different approaches to working. HR is very antiquated and doesn't truly take the employee into consideration, and is severely understaffed. The company takes legal risks to their advantage; RIF's are done without specific consideration, investigations and EEOC claims are dismissed unless you get a lawyer, they don't pay bonuses if they can get away with it.
