Pros

Good wages and benefits (free transportation, 13th month, mortgage discount), strong training program and curriculum specially for management traineeship starters. Can grow fast if in the right departments. Generally pays attention to work life balance and is quite a low power distance between managers and employees.

Cons

Hard to get things done. Everything needs to be discussed by everyone before implementation. Too many people who don't want to deliver or work hard for their job. At higher levels decisions tend to be made based on internal politics more than on what is the right way to go.

Pros

Horizontal culture, very European with manageable work life balance.

Cons

Limited growth opportunities, endless layers of bureaucracy, disconnected senior management, and lack of a meritocracy are the key cons.
