Pros

Foreigners are cheap so may foreigners are hired in place of locals (if that can be considered a pro at all)

Cons

High turnover in the company so much so that we dont recognise half the people in the office anymore. People come and go so quickly that one minute they are here and the next they have disappeared. HR has been asked to "clean up" the mess that managers have created and deal with their bad decision making. Company holds meetings to try to find dirt on employees and try to make them leave. Complete lack of professional HR practices and non existent workforce planning an this is a huge shame for a company that considers itself "inclusive". So many good people have come to the company only to leave with a bad taste in their mouths and without ever finding their footing due to lack of role clarity and proper onboarding.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
