Pros

truly global, multicultural company - strong franchise; SWIFT business card opens doors few people ever walk through. High salaries, travel opportunities.

Cons

cooperative status and its board make it very conservative, even outside the core messaging business, where failure can indeed not be an option. Office politics, bureaucracy, underestimated ignorance prevent success of all new products bar a few, since many years.

Pros

- The team is good, and there are many opportunities to get within the company.

Cons

The micro-management in this company is the worse: Use Sales-force to keep monitoring employees update works or not. Only care for results by numbers not quality.
