      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits, comfortable office, salary appears to align with the market median (possibly slightly below the average, but that may vary by department and location), friendly colleagues. The CEO and upper management seem fine.

      Cons

      Same as in all corporations: layoffs, slower processes.
