Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Many of the individuals are hardworking, caring, and committed to the work they do.

Cons

The most toxic corporate culture I have ever seen. Value only placed on kissing butt. HR is the worst. CEO and HR legitimately are not nice people that want people to make "the walk of shame" after being fired. HR tells others they want to get "everything they can squeeze" out of people before firing them. This culture runs through the entire organization up to Paris headquarters.

Great schedule. Good pay. Great benefits.

In the middle of a merger. A lot of changes recently. Not necessarily bad.

Pros

Good exposure to a large, complex organization with cross-functional collaboration. Opportunities to take on responsibility and learn quickly if you are proactive. Some strong internal frameworks and experienced individuals to learn from. Visibility across different teams and business units.

Cons

Lack of standardized processes creates unnecessary inefficiencies and rework. Too much reliance on individual knowledge instead of scalable systems. Cross-team communication is often reactive rather than coordinated, which slows execution. Roles and ownership are frequently unclear, leading to misalignment and finger-pointing. Tools exist but are not fully implemented or consistently used, resulting in avoidable manual work.
