Pros

Great place to work in. Lots of opportunity to grow and learn new things. Very collaborative environment . Great benefits

Cons

Very big global company. Politics can be very harsh and shocking at times. The size also meant that there are so-called "managers" that aren't actually very good at anything but manage to fall through the cracks. Middle management members lack maturity and mentoring because enior management is always so busy. Too much focus on revenue which meant working with the sales or marketing team can be quite a challenge. Basic Pay is also below average.

Pros

Interesting company; very large, global presence with many business lines. Good, stable employment with opportunities to travel, and advance if you are willing to work long hours. Compensation and benefits are slightly above average.

Cons

Poor communication within the various departments of my business line; virtually no communication between the different business lines, although we are encouraged "cross sell" services of same. Poor leadership; top level management changes frequently.
