Pros

Great people, and interesting work. The IA and PM teams are very strong and a good place to cut your teeth.

Cons

The overall leadership team is very weak. The VP group excels at selling, but they consistently set their team up for failure and chronically burn their resources to make up for it. Success is only based on heroism, and then never rewarded. Think twice about accepting a position if you are commuting from Philly or if you are looking for work/life balance. Also push very hard for title and salary going in as they rarely promote across the company and never in the IT department.

Pros

You get exposure to the very latest technology, and the company is implementing it in impactful, real-world ways. Even if you're not in a tech role, you naturally build deeper understanding in the latest technologies that you may never get exposure to at other companies. Truly global. Even for employees not in global roles, you still get good visibility into the company's global scale and impact.

Cons

Too much process around approvals which reduces speed of execution. Asked to step-up but then insufficient support provided. Two-faced behaviors of managers has become acceptable.
