Pros

Great colleagues and coworkers. Cultural Diversity.

Cons

- Pathetic bosses - Unbearable politics - Inept CEO - Lack of proper vision that takes the employees into consideration - Hire and fire policy (does not understand the concept of employee retention) - No promotions for years...prefers to hire people from outside instead of promoting people internally. - Policies and procedures are very weak and poorly written compared to other similar companies I have worked for. - Received one bare minimum payhike in the four years I was there, while the company grew from $6B to $8B in annual revenues. And I may not have been the best performer but I was not a slacker either. - My boss earned more than three times of what i earned and did not have even half the skills i possessed. He learnt things from me and presented to the sr. management and consistently took credit for my work. He was also abusive and unethical in his work practices. - I did one annual performance review in the four years I was there. There was no emphasis on performance reviews or employee retention. - Acquires companies nonstop but lacks the skills to integrate them properly. - The company is top ranked in all major areas of its business but internally it is a HUGE mess! - Under appreciated colleagues and co-workers despite all the efforts they put in. - No growth opportunities even for exemplary performers.
