Pros

The company is huge but is run like a start-up firm. Depending on the function you work in, it is typical to interact with senior leadership regularly. It is also a big name in the industry that can open more doors for you, so it's nice to have on any resume.

Cons

It is a very political place that values politics over performance. It's more challenging for people of color to succeed in prestigious teams. People who leave often say, "You cannot pay me a million dollars to go work in that place."

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
