Pros

If you share the company philosophy, empowerment, it must be a very good place to work for. Lots of opportunities to challenge yourself under good pressure. Many young people. Now trying to expand its business worldwide. Promoting English inside the company; getting more and more like a global company.

Cons

Compared to firms in the U.S. the pay is not so great. There are no programs to support employees study abroad.

Pros

very supportive, very educational, very friendly. The best first post-undergrad job experience I could have hoped for, and the company is growing lik crazy now!

Cons

Long hours, and very strange leadership roles. At the time not very international, but I perceive that this has improved dramatically.
