Pros

Great place to work if you are newly hired from college/university and are looking for a first job for a few months to a year. Experience different cultures and nationalities

Cons

Poor working environment and poor management decisions Base employees bear the stress of these poor decisions Understaffed - Continually understaffed and no new employees were ever hired after managers promised to make more hires for over a year. Management then hired employees in foreign locations that caused more stress and problems. Impossible deadlines - Told that we would have to complete a 1.5 year long project in 6 months. Team had worked 80+ hour weeks and weekends, then was blamed when goals were not met. Mistrust - Management and HR would say one thing then do another. HR told us that being an 'exempt' employee means that we would be working at least 40 hours weekly and therefor required to stay extra and work weekends; United States law defines an exempt employee much differently. HR promised to cover certain payments in job acceptance, then attempted to deny these expenses after hired, Management promised to hire more employees (after being given many resumes and resources) for nearly a year, then moved tasks to a foreign location and hired employees... found out it was planned the entire time. Management would continue to promise events and recuperation to hardworking employees, but either cancelled events or made failed promises. On business trips, managers and upper level employees set bad examples by making lavish expenses and breaking corporate policy then denying expenses to lower level employees.
