Pros

Good pay and great benefits.

Cons

Unbelievably poor management, unclear expectations, and lack of guidance. Different expectations depending on your manager. The one woman on the team (other than myself) was catty, rude, and generally unkind. It was clear that she preferred to be the only woman on the team and would rather behave like a bratty teenager than to offer any support whatsoever to other women in the industry and on her team. It's 2018 - let's help one another in a male dominated industry rather than hurt. Moreover, I was constantly asked for feedback and when I provided said feedback I was completely ignored. I understand that this is a large company and change comes slow as it does for any organization this size, but why even ask how my manager can help me if my constructive suggestions are completely ignored? Finally and most unfortunately, the technology is woefully out of date. One will find themselves entering data all day to multiple different systems that don't communicate with one another and still be expected to get a large workload done on time. Management needs to meet its employees in the middle.

Pros

The hot water is usually hot. Usually.

Cons

Just when you think you’ve hit rock bottom, they’ve broken through that floor and find ways to make it worse. There is a lot of talk about excellence and achieving success, but they have no idea how to get there. Absolutely no tangible plans. All of the best and brightest have left. IT will never get it done. Communication is terrible, minus the propaganda that they inundate you with that everything is great. No one wants to take ownership of anything and it all just falls by the wayside.

Pros

Free coffee, high-speed internet, excellent janitorial service, plenty of ding dongs in the vending machines to smear on my face in my office on the 6th Floor.

Cons

Form over substance Talk over action Arrogance over understanding Complete lack of understanding of the company’s business Continued resistance to understand the company’s business Assume that all projects should be re-run regardless of previous outcome – ignore context Create useless reports that on one reads or cares about Use nice graphics to make points that no one will listen to Politics vs. deals Embrace bluster, bravado, incompetence, useless mind-numbing bureaucracy Every other incompetent employee holds a VP title
