Pros
Intellectually stimulating, prestigious company to work for – the leader in its field. Travel opportunities worldwide, and there’s the ability to actually live abroad on assignment. Supports remote/at home work. Wide range of internal opportunities. Compensation/benefits are good overall.
Cons
Systems long overdue for revamping. Middle management poorly prepared with layers and layers and layers of people given various responsibilities for various aspects of the business setting up internal conflicts. Policies introduced then either disregarded or updated – can’t find accurate information internally. New programs constantly introduced, few retired. New hires may find themselves sacrificed to protect entrenched employees. Workforce becoming more heads down rather than dynamic due to constant pressure to do more. Speaking out can make you a pariah. Work/Life balance given lip service; in order to succeed, must work like a banshee.
