Good on your resume but move on
Pros: Large company to make decent contacts
Great first line managers in general
Cons: Departments were very silo like, you would hear 'its not my job' plenty
Pay not great and unbalanced / male dominated
Work life balance depended on which department you were in, over all terrible work life balance
Many times client facing roles were understaffed
Executive level compensation excessive
Executives had no common ground with front line staff or their leaders
High rates of outsourcing to companies such as India
In some departments the inter office politics was terrible
In one department a thank you came in the form of eating pizza at your desk while taking calls
