Good company brand, certain roles are better than others
Pros: There are many opportunities, and if you managers like you, they will make opportunities for you. Good perks, company sponsored networking events, and solid job security. Some very intelligent colleagues. Most people are collaborative, and take accountability. Good technology, good vacation policy. Opportunities for internal mobility. For a large company, it functions very well.
Cons: Senior management boasts work-life balance, but it's not realistic. Long hours, weekend, & holidays required as work days. Salary is too low for the amount of work, the responsibilities, and the yearly increase aren't enough to cover inflation. Internal mobility traps you in the same salary. High turnover rate causes talent to leave the company, but it's the only option if you want to advance in your career. I saw almost 95% of my division, including managers, leave in a short period of time. Some colleagues make huge errors, are not team players, and have a "that's not my job" attitude. Bad maternity and paternity leave. The new healthcare coverage isn't as good as the previous plans.
