Excellent, well communicated benefits if full-time, although health for a head of household (spouse, children) is increasing.
Great work / life balance
Great ability for talented workers to move laterally
Cons
Huge conglomerations of global plants, locations, acquisitions, etc that are not well integrated (especially at a core IT systems level), so very confusing to work in for newcomers
Moving up in the company is very challenging

Thank you for your review.
It’s gratifying to know that you have such a good time in our company.
We appreciate your contributions and wish you all the best.
The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.
Cons
Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
