Pros

-A real mix of people, dealt with Europe & US colleagues plus of course outsource teams in India & Hungary -Good opportunities to learn because they make so many changes, there's always a problem to solve if you have the interest

Cons

-Every dept seems under-resourced & expectations are unrealistic, don't allow any work life balance -What little structure remains is steadily being broken down by yet more outsourcing -Salaries are a little below average -Questionable promotions & appointments are common, managers get no training or support to manage staff, both resulting in many firings because managers don't perform -Training, best practice and support for regular tasks are non-existent -Out-dated technology, software etc

Pros

Smart people, clear ways for personal growth, name recognition

Cons

Promotions were hard to come by, many trapped in the "this is the way we've always done it" mentality
