      I worked at Carnival full-time

      Pros

      Nice offices.
      Good discount on product.

      Cons

      Leadership is disastrous. There are too many ‘accidental’ managers.
      Pay is low.
      Nothing can be changed. It’s accepted that projects can’t / won’t be delivered.
      Lack of basic competency in most areas. There are high barriers to entry for their market, but it’s difficult to see carnival at the top in 10-20 years.
