Pros

Salaries are at or above market salaries; opportunity for internal growth and learning via movement from one business unit to another; bonus structure good (but not nearly as good as it used to be); opportunity to work with very smart people globally.

Cons

Difficult to get things done due to size of company and bureauracratic polices and structures; emphasis on standardization has caused productivity and morale decreases, while weakening the company's performance; the company used to pride much of its success on its decentralized nature and the empowerment of its business units; age discrimination is wide spread; little work life balance.

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.
