Pros

4 weeks vacation is available.

Cons

There's so much work and understaffed that so many people are struggling to take those 4 weeks. Typical leadership in a corporation: unrealistic deadlines, last minute changes with zero accountability on the higher ups end and will blame their people for not making deadlines. Poor management. Process is awful and rarely honoured. If you have ambitions more than 2.5 kids, a partner, a picket fence etc the generic life, this place can be really draining as the people who work here are nowhere near exceptional. They only see you as a worker and not as a whole person so I suppose it will depend on the department you end up in and the people you work with as this is a very big company. The creative end though: awful. There's ironically nothing creative about the way they do things. Bad culture - lots of finger pointing and people tend to be rude when you ask questions. Not a psychologically safe space. Lots of finger-pointing. No sense of authenticity; even from people individually.

Pros

My coworkers were the heart of the company. Excellent PTO and benefits.

Cons

Rely heavily on inventors and freelancers. No room to actually innovate and design. Management level was promoted based on office politics and not experience/success. Very cliquey in times where you question if someone was speaking behind your back, turns out they were.
