Pros

Open culture. Good job security as lots of tolerance for mistakes and tendency to shy away from taking hard decisions. High levels of staffing leading to almost no work in some areas.

Cons

Tobacco industry, very difficult to switch jobs. Downsizing activities started since last 3 years. Very little opportunities to grow in the new scenario unless you are someones "favorite". Loads of incompetent people in senior management.

Pros

A reputable company with long period of success; Good remuneration to retain right talents; People tend to stay in the firm forever due to the comfortable industry, hence comfortable working environment

Cons

An uncertain industry with strong fear of “dark market” and further smoking bans; Company is constantly introducing changes to the organisation, hence hard for employees to manage their career; Truly relationship driven company, number and performance sometimes are secondary criteria in career advancement

Pros

Fast paced and exciting environment to work in. Challenging and stretching.

Cons

High stress level, high turnovers, too many new people and new faces that are not competent enough and leave when they are competent enough. Not enough true leaders and too many YES men.
