Pros

Well-known brand with solid name recognition in the industry Some teams are supportive and collaborative Opportunities to gain experience if you're early in your career

Cons

Incredible level of nepotism—key roles are often filled based on personal connections rather than merit Advancement is difficult if you're not part of the inner circle Leadership can feel disconnected from day-to-day challenges Communication is often unclear, and decision-making lacks transparency Hard work is not always recognized unless it aligns with favored individuals
