Business Outlook

Pros

Job stability, career development opportunities, global footprint.

Cons

While the benefits package is decent, the actual pay is a bit below par. Company claims to have a "small company mindset" but is clearly burdened with corporate bureaucracy that slows down positive change more often than not and causes some underperformers to become entrenched and unmanageable.
