- excellent compensation and benefits - strong sense of belonging - very strong profiles - real opportunities to grow if you join at entry career level

Cons

- career progression exclusively based on visibility and who you know. Hence joining from outside at mid career is a big challenge. - poor performance management culture - micro management culture - very arrogant management
