Pros

They have global presence and support many causes. The benefits package is quite good, one of the best in the industry.

Cons

Managers take credit for your ideas and accomplishments, and the "little guy" never gets promoted. Salary raises are either non-existent or laughable. Meetings are the biggest downfall -- they take away from your work time, but you still have to do all your work, so you get to work like a horse. Nobody recognizes your good, hard work. If you're friends with your manager or know how to brown-nose, you get all kinds of perks.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
