Pros

Leadership Principles are not just trotted out once a year, they are deeply ingrained and part of the everyday rhetoric. Customer experience is obsessed over. Informal Opportunities for advancement Good medical benefits

Cons

Tough culture to work in - work/life balance is poor, lot of churn, unreasonable expectations from mgmt. at times, unclear roles and responsibilities Document driven culture - if you don't like writing white papers, this is not the company for you. Not a lot of employee perks or benefits in the name of frugality, low on vacation time/holidays Compensation practices can cause some employees to really be underpaid for the work that they do, others benefit greatly from it, its very inconsistent Terrible cross group coordination, everyone does what they want to do without understanding the impact they will have on other groups.

Pros

Good exposure, big opportunities. Learned to refine business planning logic, write white-papers, and enhanced my understanding and application of "data driven decisions".

Cons

Unrealistically demanding, level and pay does not escalate in correlation with demands. Environment of negative and critical feedback at all times - in most cases to the detriment of team and individual morale. A culture of never being satisfied or appreciated, regardless of your competency or level of contribution.
