Pros

Flexible work hours/location Company shows strong brand values and induction shows impetus towards image, consistency and ethics. Relatively better compensation Occasionally employees see a small gift on your desk from Leadership team thanking them for the hard work - Thoughtful of the leadership team. Diversity - have not seen a place with wider diaspora of people, cultures. People have flexibility to move laterally between teams

Cons

Lots of layers to accomplish tasks. Project Induction is usually not well defined. Work life balance needs to be batter Sr management looks at costs at the global level and want to keep North America thin at higher levels. That potentially puts growth at a slower pace
