Pros

Helping people is a great way to spend your day. Technology and resources abound for technical oriented profressionals.

Cons

Slow and bloated. Uncertain if sloth like pace is due to indecision or highly litigious nature of most strategic decisions. Always seem to be a new intiative and a new VP over each group every two years. If there was a consistency in initiatives or messages it may be more effective.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
