Business Outlook

Pros

- A company culture that encourages dissent, discourse, transparency, and fairness - Strong compensation, from benefits, to perks, to base pay - Decent internal mobility opportunities - Employees are proud to work on globally impactful products, leading to a great sense of pride - Lots of opportunities to get involved in extracurriculars: sports teams, affinity groups, plan events, lead debate on internal company/cultural issues

Cons

- A company with over 90k people at the time of this review, and you can feel the size - A hierarchical company (due to its size), so don't expect to lead world changing projects and work with the CEO if you're a junior person - A company that has valued employees in somewhat of a tiered way: tech jobs are most respected, business jobs are 2nd class, vendors/temps/contractors are treated in an exclusionary way (usually because it is legally required to do so) - Employees can be overly sensitive and entitled - Mobility is great in the same functional discipline, switching between functional disciplines (i.e. sales to eng) is a nightmare
