Pros

Benefits, (illusive) high compensation, stock options

Cons

Outdated, over-engineered systems. Office politics are unbelievable - promotions only happen if you're "on the inside". Have tried to push some of my ideas and the outcome is usually either complete rejection or put aside until someone in management would take the credit for it. Very high turnover - people do leave all the time due to high stress, no growth, insane hours, tons of red tape and outdated processes. Their double digit bonus promises fail all the time... they rarely meet their goals... at the low level, in other words, bonuses are trimmed at levels everything below management so management can get their targeted percentage.

Pros

Giant international corporation with unlimited resources. Multiple locations around the country and the globe with tons of jobs that are open for internal transfer (with some considerations). Generally high pay range.

Cons

Giant international corporations treat you as an unlimited resource. They use "Unlimited PTO" model for Sick and Vacation time, which I feel is a misnomer and a disingenuous concept as a whole. Unrealistic fixation on making employees use AI with no clear plan or direction on how it should happen.
