Pros

Big Company- Decent Benefits, Co-Workers, Amenities,

Cons

In constant cost cutting mode- cut budgets and personnel based on $- not knowledge base or skill set. Always hearing they make too much- hire someone new Tough to be told you need to rate 20% of your people as poor performers- with all of the layoffs- only have key personnel left. Belief is to just train someone new to do the job, not realizing it takes years to get the knowledge level from a new person.

Pros

Broadly a good company if you’re in a senior decision making role.

Cons

HR policies are words only. Years go by without ability to take any PTO and carry over not allowed. Friday afternoons, all HR US employees stop working with all others working past normal business hours and into the weekend including late Friday asks to complete an action by Monday 8:00 AM that was known earlier in the week but only communicated to the employee after Friday business hours. Every Friday. Onboarding structure / sink or swim approach, no training. No sense of belonging unless you’ve worked here 20 years plus. No growth or development opportunities unless tapped on the shoulder. Many openings are never published, again tapped on the shoulder approach despite offering to volunteer. Dismissive company culture. Every Voice Counts initiative is code for: if you do share your voice, you are on a list to not consider for promotion or any projects that would give you more visibility across the organization to foster one’s growth.
