      Pros

      Great work environment with amazingly talented people. The great material wealth is fairly shared with employees through the Compensation program. Because of the great projects and the focus put on Talent retaintion, amazing opportunities are available to those who are driven and want to challenge themselves. Finally, even though it is a huge organization, spread on many continents, changes are implemented quickly and innovation is valued. Entrepreneurial behaviors are valued as well.

      Cons

      Because the projects and work environment are so engaging and you are always challenged: one tends to put a lot of hours. Also the many locations spread allover the different time zones, you may experience long days at times to move your projects forward when working with multidisciplinary teams. A lot of leeway is given to individuals but sometimes management could keep a tighter ship.

      just like another large non-flexible organization; transaction cost theory works here.

      Pros

      nice friendly co-workers; very diversified workforce. managers are generally forgiving (this could be a con sometimes too. see below).

      Cons

      clumsy culture in terms of operation; transaction cost theory and agency theory work - so unsurprisingly, the best strategy for low-to-middle level employees is to work the minimum - just to meet the threshold.
