Pros

Good pay if you go in as a director and you get share options every year

Cons

Very bad place to work. Highly political, and no career growth beyond where you join if you join as mid level executive. Badly run by people having no domain knowledge and essentially a place where back office staffs from banks end up after they go through a redundancy cycle. I voluntarily left due to politics and bad work life balance

Pros

Giant international corporation with unlimited resources. Multiple locations around the country and the globe with tons of jobs that are open for internal transfer (with some considerations). Generally high pay range.

Cons

Giant international corporations treat you as an unlimited resource. They use "Unlimited PTO" model for Sick and Vacation time, which I feel is a misnomer and a disingenuous concept as a whole. Unrealistic fixation on making employees use AI with no clear plan or direction on how it should happen.
