Pros

Able to be involved in various projects fairly easily across different industries or assets. People are generally very nice too.

Cons

Difficult to make career progression even though you’ve performed well, due to only a generally yearly review system.

Pros

-Attractive and prestigious brand. -Nice office facilities like barista level espresso machine, Herman Miller chairs and standing desks at every workstation. -Interesting projects.

Cons

-Low base salary and highly variable bonus based on global results. -Overly complicated organisation structure and disconnected teams that really should be sub-teams. -Annoying software productivity tracking tool that punishes curiosity and creativity.
