Pros

A stable job with competitive compensation, ideal for those who enjoy working within large international corporations.

Cons

Toxic corporate culture where independent voices are silenced and only ‘yes-men’ are valued. Middle management is largely incompetent, creating a frustrating and demotivating environment.
