Pros

Pay and benefits in top 3rd vs industry, flexible work arrangements for most and lots of different opportunities for interesting careers but primarily only if you are brought in as management.

Cons

Part of their pitch was need for my skills and background and thier strong culture of promote from within, convincing me that leaving my career behind was a great step forward. What they didn't share was that it only applies to campus mgmt hires and a small number of external higher level managers. The have an elusive promote to management process that ebbs like the tides but even if your top rated (I am) you cannot even look at the roles as you won't meet the role requirement (already mgmt). They consistently claim regardless of function that the process is in state of overhaul yet you see promotions being made only where it increases a managers score card metrics. Truly disappointing and indicative of their focus on image over substance. If your experienced and just want a job come on down, if your looking for a challenging career and not already an intern perhaps check out GE, Amazon or another CPG company.

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
