Pros

The company helps to identify diversity and promote it. The compensation is more than you can imagine. Great place to work but they have had many lay offs. Also in my case they were very unfair.

Cons

The company itself is not transparent and is very political, which what I hated about the job. Even if you are better at something than someone else and everyone knows it, the hiring manager will pick someone they "knew".

Pros

Good pay, flexibility to work from home, excellent leadership and skills training, opportunities for growth and development, safety conscious company

Cons

Near-constant reorganization and change, with poor vetting of leaders; painful office politics run amok at times; Excessive jargon and acronyms to the point you feel like you are working with machines, not humans.
