Pros

The company allows for good rotation and diverse work experiences. I was rotated many times and was able to do a career change from an internal function to external consulting. Managers are great interpersonally and really good coaches.

Cons

Salaries are below market in North America. There is a big push to move as much as possible to emerging markets where labour is cheaper. It is best to embrace this trend if you would like to move ahead in the firm

Pros

Good work life balance with flexible work hours and locations. Immense opportunities and resources to learn and advance skill sets.

Cons

There is a lot of office politics. Remuneration is sometimes not reflective of experience or ability but rather bargaining abilities.
