Pros

Great benefits - both salary and allowances, big brand, loyal customers, continuous coaching, training and mentoring, opportunities for travel, challenging technical products and services making the work interesting, embracing of technology making teleconferences very easy.

Cons

Very complicated internal processes, ruthless managers, limited career growth opportunities, lack of support and co-operation from bigger subsidiaries, kiss up to kick down organisation, lack of brand recognition or brand confusion - caused by assumption that brand itself is very big - causing under-investment in marketing.

Pros

In our group the following are evident: Work-life balance. Working smart is encouraged. High level of accountability. Play to win mindset. Creativity is encouraged.

Cons

However not all groups are the same. I see how others are treated unfairly. Some talented people get discouraged and end up leaving. Salary not as competitive. Benefits should be upgraded especially car plans.
