Everyone cares about you personally (first) and professionally (second); excellent chance for advancement if you work hard; great benefits
Cons
It is sometimes "too large" and functionality loses out; globally diverse (which is a positive!) but makes it hard to schedule meetings and connect with teammates on projects; matrixed organization, can be hard to find action owners at times

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.
Cons
Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
