Pros

Fair amount of flexibility and work life balance. Good comradery in office, because everyone is in the same situation.

Cons

Complete disorganization. No career path. Frequent layoffs (it is an outsourcing company). Lofty goals and poor execution. Little to no training and low quality when it happens. No feedback, i.e. no one-on-ones, no meetings with managers, no skip levels. You work in a vacuum. No communication. No one knows what's going on. Plans are sometimes distributed, but no one follows them. Teams do redundant work. Clients are constantly dissatisfied and feel they are being ignored. Substandard vacation package. This company still uses sick days, but punishes you for using them. Fewer holidays than normal companies. Doesn't honor Dr. King. This is a foreign company and decision makers often talk in a foreign language to their favorites even if everyone in the room doesn't speak that language. NMJ (not my job) is the typical response if you want anyone to go beyond doing the minimum required by the job. Very low morale. Low quality building with no facilities and frequent problems (repeatedly losing water, heat, air conditioning, closing bathrooms for repair - even had employees using porta-potties in the parking lot).

Pros

Good medical plan, but not much else How much learning one can take away really depends on luck - it is extremely rare to be assigned to a good project with competent senior staff

Cons

Junior local graduates are hired seemingly only to boost the local headcount to allow the company to bring in more "foreign talent" from offshore. No investment and/or training is done for young graduate hires. Often stuck in dead-end roles with no visibility and little room for growth. When the review cycle comes along, this is then used as an excuse to rate us poorly for not performing up to standards, when in truth, we are not even given the room to choose what roles we have to fulfill and which projects we are assigned to. Little recognition is given to work that's been done well, but mistakes are always put under the microscope. The company tends to hire/retain senior management personnel who seemingly cannot do their own work, and are incapable of performing. Junior staff have to do the work for them, with little to no direction and guidance. Competent middle managers who are willing/capable to teach junior hires are few and far between. The company has no idea and does not care about local culture and legal contexts. For example, legally mandatory National Service duties are often held with disdain by senior management, which then results in poor performance reviews/feedback which then leads to missed promotion opportunities etc. Juniors are easy cannon fodder and are first placed in the firing line when clients make dissatisfaction known. The leads rarely take responsibility for deliverables that were under their direction.
