Pros

The credo as an operational foundation provides clear guidance on how we want to conduct business on all levels. Diverse operating companies unified in one corporation -- helps in financial risk mitigation, also helps provide abundance of opportunities for mobility and development, can leverage expertise in virtually every field.

Cons

Very large corporation can leave you feeling like a cog in the giant machine -- sometimes the upper management behavior contributes to that. Fiefdoms are present. Job demands can be high and sometimes the compensation doesn't feel in line with the expectations. Management often leaves employees feelings as though they should be grateful for being employed vs. thanking and compensating them for the contributions that they make. It is often feels like decisions are driven by ego and power plays vs. what's right for the customer or business.

Pros

The colleagues I worked with were great, friendly, helpful. Because the colleagues were great, I'd love to work there full-time, but this was a short contract.

Cons

The supervisor I was ultimately working for had never worked in digital-related products, in which I had decades of experience. He seemed to be unaware of what every colleague would be telling me (I was interviewing colleagues using a software the manager was intending to propose use for firm-wide). Both the colleagues I interviewed, and the internal technical staff I was speaking with knew the project would not function as he seemed intent on ... forcing(?) it do so. I gave him the resulting report of its users' feedback, and I was finished with my contract. He had gone through 2 other women in this same role, already. And he hired a male after me who delivered esentially the same results. Because I wasn't there, I have no idea of the dream outcome this manager attained, or switched to, later.
