Pros

Great place for building long term personal and professional relationships.

Cons

Poor management. Too many layoffs. No market strategy. Lack of new product development. Forecast unrealistic likely due to no market research/analysis. There are always career opportunities available because there are always layoffs.

Pros

Great innovative products and services. Good diversity of job opportunities. Excellent opportunities to work in other countries. Good and helpful co-workers. A lot of different cultures to work with.

Cons

The functional departments (HR and Finance) have too much influence which hinders the company's ability to provide good service to its clients. Repeated hiring freezes makes it difficult for the remaining employees to deliver to the clients on time. The CEO and upper management are making large bonuses on the backs of the employees by cutting salaries and benefits. Constant reorganizations causes chaos and prevents stable processes to be put in place.
