Pros

Fast paced dynamic environment with no shortage of opportunities for early to mid career professionals. Compensation seems fair or better, and I do believe middle and upper management care about their people.

Cons

An immature organization who has grown quickly and the dust is stil settling. Lack of focus on top priorities. Too many initiatives, not enough people. No resource management takes place and there is a lot of talk about work life balance, but at the end of the day you have work you have to get done. Do not expect a 40 hour or a 45 hour work week will be sufficient. 9/80's are offered but seems that on average you can only take about half of your 9/80's as there is too much work to be done. Significant organizational structure changes in regular 6 month intervals.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. They really care about the safety of their employees. Lots of opportunities to move within the company to different positions which may end up making you see all around the world. You'll make more money than the others in other companies doing the same job as you.

Cons

Just like every other big company, bureaucracy is a big disadvantage. Nobody questions whether the way things are done could be better or not. So hard to make changes since it needs multiple approvals from upper levels. Because it works the way it is, nobody wants to mess with the methods the things are done and step under the spotlight.

Pros

I decided because I thought it was a solid company in technical issues besides attractive personal touch.

Cons

however, there is a standard of treatment of people is a lack of honest relationships, plus a loss of simplicity in their actions. Employees feel they are supernatural beings belonging to this company and do the most humane treatment.
