Pros

Well known brand, good co-workers for the most part

Cons

This company once had amazing leadership but that is no longer the case. The CEO and Chief People Officer are both awful, no idea how to lead a company or motivate people. As a result the culture has taken a major hit. The company recently had layoffs despite fantastic revenue numbers, which further hurt morale. Just a bad place to work.
