Pros

Some of the people you work with are wonderful, respectful, team players. If you work on a team with clout, you have access to more resources and receive better treatment overall.

Cons

I was talked out of filing multiple sexual harassment complaints. I was forced to suffer a hostile environment for years because no one wanted to reign in the repugnant behavior of one individual. Middle management is a complete joke. They raised health insurance premiums because "too many women gave birth." Speaking of birth, if you give birth you WILL be punished for it. They do so via the review process - manufacturing performance issues to justify the withholding of bonuses and raises, and ultimately terminations. There is no diversity outside of a handful of token hires.
