Pros

- Intelligent People - Great support system - Well recognized brand which people are proud to be a part of. - Well compensated - Fun atmosphere with inter departmental competition

Cons

- If you lead the large ship, it takes time to moves so you must be patient when developing new products. - No training, only the fittest survive. Learn on your own type training. - ACT (Authorized Corporate Transaction) required for every decision. - Decisions can take while, and it all starts with at the interview process. 3 months waiting for an answer due to the ACT process.
