Pros

- people are generally friendly and hard working - good benefits for families - once you're in, they'll keep you - good work/life balance - generous pension - company-paid annual recreation day - subsidised on-site canteen

Cons

- salary is uncompetitive - US mindset from HQ clashes with the mindset and work cultures of other offices around the world - once you're in, they'll keep you - even if you're dead weight - management is disconnected from ground-level operations. it's like they're working for a whole other company. - annual restructures - low morale - turnover seems particularly high for publishing - inadequate technology - no focus on career progression
