Pros

Multinational Company for good resume, good starting pay, co-workers are nice to work with, some are extremely helpful and efficient, good work-life balance.

Unstable company, constant business changes, lack of direction. So much changes to the global team that nobody really knows the history of the project they are handling.

Lots of bureaucracy and politics, and inefficiencies in processes between front line and top line

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

great benefits - 401k, health, car, cell phone, and corporate credit card

Cons

Militaristic style...pressure from upward management gets pushed down to all levels of management and to the sales representatives creating a military like atmosphere. Lots of tests, unnecessary reports, and inefficiencies that go hand and hand with a corporation that's too big.
