Pros

The support that is available when working. The company is global but the ability to collaborate with fellow employees around the world is so simple the world seems that much smaller. There are plenty of opportunities to find your niche and grow. Learning opportunities are all around. Overall compensation can give a great quality of life.

Cons

The over emphasis on objective quantifiable measurement rather over subjective observation of ability and performance given the environment of opportunity or lack thereof. The bottom line can receive too much emphasis and confuse the employees when contrasted with announcements of record numbers and billions in profit.
