Cons

Not much emplowerment There could be a sharper focus on the importance of manager/employee relationships Managers tend to be upward looking as opposed to being focused on the development and well-being of their teams

Great place to work but very demanding

Business Outlook

Pros

- Extremely flexible hours - Fitness center on site (or fitness subsidy if not near the company gym) - Best holiday schedule of any company I've ever worked for (typical holidays plus week off from Christmas Eve to New Years Day).

Cons

- Many late meetings with Asia Pacific offices interferes with life/work balance. - Doesn't matter whether you've worked for the company for 1 week or 20 years, you get the same 12 days vacation per year. 6 week sabbatical every 4 years (that has to be taken all at once- not broken up). Would be nice to get acrue more vacation over time. - Lots of workaholics, so getting promoted requires a lot of work.
