Opportunities to advance and learn, but toxic politics in regional offices
Pros: Access to top tech hardware and software

Ability to relocate and travel globally

Good pay and benefits

Get to work with smart people
Cons: Toxic politics and limited critical thinking, points of view are focused on whats popular rather than hard conversations.

Managers are trained how to control employee feedback and outcomes

Too many policies and procedures, most legalistic company ive ever worked for

Projects or new initiatives are cut short if no traction is seen in one quarter, afraid to try new things, management sticks with whats popular, low hanging fruit and easy with an extremely short term focused view so that a perceived legacy is seen
