Pros

This company loves snapping up fresh faces just entering the job market. Their ideal hire? Someone young, eager, and with just enough experience to know where the “on” button is—because they’d rather train you their way from scratch. Sure, the “52 hours of mandatory training” they brag about sounds impressive… at first. Give it a couple of years and you’ll realize it’s basically the same content on repeat, just in a different font. But hey—if you’re hunting for your first step into an international environment with tons of skills to pick up and plenty of room to grow, this place hits the mark. Perfect starter pack for start building your career.

Cons

The trouble with this job usually hits around year three. By then you’ve levelled up your skills, you know what you’re doing, you’re confident… and then you realize your pay didn’t get the memo. Sure, you get a little something extra each year, but it’s vague, unstructured, and honestly feels a bit like finding loose change in the sofa. That’s usually when people start looking elsewhere. Internal progression is definitely promoted, and opportunities do exist, but like in many large corporations, the climb can be slow and the improvement in benefits may feel more gradual than you’d hoped.

Pros

Stability and job security, formerly. Compressed work weeks and work-life balance, formerly. A 47-year no-layoff policy tested in two recessions and a pandemic. Formerly. Now? Well, all of those are gone, so it's hard to really cite anything other than that there's health care and the paychecks don't bounce.

Cons

The same stuff that's always been there, for one. Strict dress code. Dated systems they're trying to run away from as fast as humanly possible. Strict in-office culture with limited WFH. Little to no upward mobility; most senior management has been there for 20+ years and when someone does get promoted, the remaining jobs often seem to magically go to their buddies without getting bid. A complete inability to manage and coordinate anything effectively amongst multiple teams, which apparently is going to be somehow solved by laying off almost all the project/program managers. Oh, and on top of all that? Now, the new regime will lay you off, but first they'll gaslight you and claim the no-layoff policy never existed. Then they'll claim the team managers (who they conveniently also laid off) did the rankings that determined who got cut. Then they'll put a bunch of the survivors into a "bootcamp" and then make them interview to keep their jobs.
