Pros

The company is doing amazing things with science, the CEO has been visionary during his tenure. It is a great company with lots of opportunities Networking is one of the keys to success Find yourself a mentor

Cons

The company is too federated; meaning it’s missing out on many opportunities for efficiency and savings, single individuals can halt progress. Managers are increasingly less empowered to manage and lead their teams Reward is based on visibility with a proximity bias, hard work and results are not enough to be noticed There are many global wow but they are. It mandated Too much bureaucracy A fear of speaking up
