Pros

The corporate culture tends to be entrepreneurial, flexible and creative. Its up to the individual to create opportunities and benefit from them - you need to be driven to progress. Also the company is very diverse and tends to be a flat organisation.

Cons

The downside of this culture is the lack of structure and constant change, that can be annoying when trying to think about your future career. It feels like your career is not in your control but in whatever management wants do do with you and your career.

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
