Pros

- Great colleagues globally and a great sense of collaboration. This is the main reason to stay for most colleagues. - Serious attempts of Senior Management to change the culture and to sort out the massive technology issues. - Overall very healthy company financially due to its diversification

Cons

- Continued lay-offs with no real plan behind. Grand rhetoric about treating affected colleagues in a dignified way, but this has no real substance. Decent severance packages cannot hide this. - Senior Management/ ELT well- meaning but unfortunately still rather removed from reality. - too much politics and croonism overall - Books/KL reorganization a disaster. - HR department under new leadership clueless and with no steer. - Finance/Operations hugely struggling. - If you are not based in Hoboken or Oxford, there is little opportunity for career progression.
