Pros

Medical benefits does not seem to be too bad (did not use them a lot as I am in good health)

Cons

Constant pressure Management by making you feel guilty all the time No acceptance of your personal needs or Work/life balance Working from home is negatively perceived (but working during nights and Week-end is encouraged if not mandatory) Pay range is 20% below industry standards Frugality is extended to an extreme: laptops (lenovo) are always breaking and super slowish, impacting everyone's productivity Promotion process is humiliating: you get to ask people working with you or senior ones the 3 reason why to not promote you and ask them to send their answers directly to your manager and wait to be 'judged' (not evaluated on your own performances solely) with peers of the same level. Only one per level and function will be promoted, and 5% will get a raise, others will keep the same wage with 0 increase. Lateral move every 18months are encouraged which build no trust and no legacy in any function of the organization. Management is driven by individual ego and appetite to 'kill' peers level to be promoted

Pros

Lots of opportunity for growth at a well known company. There is plenty of room for innovation and discovery, as well as personal development.

Cons

The work life balance is not great, you will work long hours. Some management will provide praise, but others will always keep pushing, so you'll need to have confidence in your performance, because you won't always get a thank you.

Pros

Benefits are good and there are lots of opportunities for career development. Casual work environment.

Cons

Work/life balance is nonexistent. Workload is constantly ratcheted up without adequate support. Salaries are just average. Vast, bureaucratic organization includes a lot of careerists acting in nobody's interest but their own - lots of defending turf.
