Pros

Great place for a newcomer or a relatively recent undergrad - lots of training opportunities, lots of development opportunities, and all around access to solid corporate best practices to learn all the things one shouldn't do and how to do things well. As a large firm, it does spend its resources and money on developing people and all in all, it is a great starting point for ones career...

Cons

After about 10 years or so, even as a high-potential candidate, one often runs into lack of development opportunities, mismatch with salary expectations, lack of opportunities, lack of flexibility (work hours, work locations). In recent years, there has been an outflow of senior level female leaders from the company - see some of the reasons above.

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
