Business Outlook

Pros

They are supportive for global mobility and cross-country work. If there is a job opening that you fit the role for, the company will sponsor your move, visa and relocation fees. The Auckland team has a lot of young people and social culture.

Cons

Not much to say here other than generic things about big company with lot of procedures in place.
