Ample opportunities for experience in functional areas across the company; great retirement benefits (if you can handle 30+ years there).

Cons

Toxic culture; tone deaf, self-congratulatory senior management; company mindset seems stuck in the 1970s; lack of accountability.

Pros

This is a great place to start and grow your career, especially as an MT, with tons of opportunities to take on projects and explore what interests you. Leadership at every level is genuinely supportive and approachable, and people across the company are always willing to teach, mentor, and help you succeed. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the Business Resource Groups really add to the sense of community and development.

Cons

There are so many opportunities that it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming figuring out what path to focus on. Balancing day-to-day work with all the development options can be a bit challenging depending on your role and workload.
