Pros

Flexibility and the opportunity to work with people and companies from all over the world. People are nice. Management is approachable.

Cons

The company is very weak in terms of benefits, one of the benefits I was given was a discount at a Peruvian restaurant. I love Peruvian food, but COME ON! Compensation is above average, although there are companies a 1000 times better and cooler. Apply to those, do not apply here.

Extremely bureaucratic

Pros

Good compensation, collegial working environment, fairly professional management. Work is fairly interesting when you actually get to the core of the job. (See "Cons" about this.)

Cons

Extremely bureaucratic - difficult to get things done. Extremely "vertical" - there are "tiers" of service and benefits, and double standards in conduct and professionalism depending how senior one is. Lots of silly BS corporate-speak like insisting on calling employees "colleagues." (Kind of like everyone at Wal-Mart is an "associate." Dumb and insulting.) The environment is subject to a lot of "change just for the sake of changing things." Senior management talks about evidence-based decisions, but in reality things are changed on a whim or even in the face of contrary evidence. In IT, it is very very difficult to advance unless you go the "people manager" track. Technical expertise is not especially valued, although again as I said in "Pros" people are pretty well compensated. That said, benefits have steadily eroded over the last 10 years.
