Pros

Challenging and rewarding culture, with many talented people doing really great things. Creative, hard working individuals and strong work ethic. Generally caring HR people and an excellent package of benefits. Strong attitude towards personal development and investment in training.

Cons

The Pros make it difficult to move up because people tend to stay where they are, so you might get somewhat stuck, though if you make enough of your talent, you can shine and make progress, especially if you are willing to move both within divisions and geographically. You'll be expected to work really hard and senior leadership is demanding and sometimes not very well planned, so things can come flying at you at an alarming pace. But the comp package reflects this, just need to be prepared for a non 9-5 existence.

Pros

Flexible work hours: some were at work by 7 am, others not until 10 am. In my case, it would sometimes change from day to day. Able to work from home occasionally. Coupled with the flexible hours, it helped to offset the ocasional late-night conference call with other countries. My co-workers are always helpful.

Cons

Because of having offices around the world, occasional conference calls late in the evening (9 to 10 pm) or early morning (8 to 9 am). Some groups, including mine, experienced a lot of shuffling of managers. I have lost count, but I think I have had 7 different managers in 4 years.
