Pros

I spent many years at Southco and look back on it as a genuinely rewarding part of my career. The business has a strong culture, supportive people and a global mindset that gives you exposure to colleagues and projects all around the world. If you take initiative, there are plenty of opportunities to develop, lead projects and broaden your skill set.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow at times due to the size of the organisation. Some systems and processes feel dated and can create bottlenecks. Resource constraints can limit the speed of delivering projects. Career progression depends heavily on your department and location.

Pros

- Coworkers are very nice & always willing to help - Bill was a great manager to work under, always understanding and very direct. Stephanie is also great, very friendly and always happy to help or listen - Opportunities to work in areas like tax, make sure you ask the person directly or ask the manager - They had events for healthcare, financial advising, massages, pet zoos - The accounting department had dinners every once in a while. Unfortunately, every time they planned them, I was already planning to go home.

Cons

- Can be very mundane, busy work at times - Everyone does keep to themselves for the most part, but if you're an introvert, you'll like it a lot
