Pros

One of the best companies when it comes to salary or employee friendly policy (on paper).

Cons

Management is really a pain. If you have a good manager as your direct reporting, then you can flourish like anything. Promotions will happen in every two year, Projects will come under you without much efforts. 2 digits yearly increment is possible. If you have a bad manager - things can be difficult, you can go under PIP, get fired in the three months pip review period, will have to work under tremendous fake pressure. Most assistant managers are under pressure due to the incompetency of their AVP's.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
