Pros

Nice salary, the workload isn't low, but fine. There are companies way worse. You can work as much as you want and always will have more to do, but none care much about what you're doing. Diversity is the biggest bullshit I've ever seen, none cares for real, the director doesn't;t know anything (ANYTHING!), and they are in the "hug gays" era yet. Doing by obligation, not by heart,

Cons

zero stability, it changes the strategy, the organization, the objectives every 6-10 months, impossible to complete one full cycle. High management doesn't know what to do, they want to be clean and green, but they need margin (as any company), so they live in an internal war between both. Your life depends on the VP agenda, if they like research, we will do research; however, if they are bold enough, forget it, we do what they need (no process). They burn budget with stupid things.

Pros

Work-life balance exists and is generally respected. Bonuses can be good, depending on the year and leadership priorities. Strong, reputable brands that look impressive on a résumé. "Some" genuinely great people who work hard despite the environment.

Cons

No meritocracy whatsoever. Promotions and career growth are driven by favoritism, internal alliances, and visibility politics rather than performance or results. Advancement often feels like a popularity contest. “Core values” are largely performative. They are referenced often but ignored when inconvenient, especially at leadership levels. Questionable long-term strategy. Direction changes frequently, priorities shift without explanation, and long-term planning feels weak or reactive. Extremely bureaucratic. Simple decisions require excessive approvals, slowing execution and stifling innovation. Politics over performance. Success depends more on who you align with than what you deliver. If you're not "one of them" or if they don't want to continue paying you your value, they'll find ways to get rid of you. So choose wisely and research the role and team.
