Pros

Excellent IT to work with, good HR profile, great people to work with. Robust processes in which to get things done with clear workflows to track items.

Cons

Rigid pay policies and lack of transparency around them. Advancement within teams and to new teams is not always transparent - many senior positions appointed through networking and not through advertisement and interviews.

Pros

Pay was the most competitive I ever had, gave a great sense of global perspective.

Cons

Horrible work/life balance, disrespectful co-workers who made the most gross generalizations and racially insensitive remarks ever. Boss was endorsed and promoted for being a small minded jerk who even dipped chewing tobacco right in the middle of the office. Constantly made fun of people with disabilities and try to do nothing but cover up their awful behavior.
