Pros

- Good compensation in general - Generally friendly work environment. - Majority leadership is genuine and means to do well. Just don't always know how... - Multinaltional, international company with great career prospects - Majority of people I work with are great.

Cons

- Highly hierarchical and bureaucratic at times - which creates a very political environment. - No work-life balance. Leaders do not care enough about employee well--being. - Leaders don't always walk the talk - i think mainly because they don't know how as opposed to being hypocritical - Bonus system could be better. Performance Management & Compensation system not conducive to innovation or getting the best out of employees - Too short term driven and individual vs. team driven.

Good company, but...

Pros

Salary and benefits are among the best. Employees are usually respectful to each other. You usually don't have to work overtime.

Cons

Very slow decision making processes due to highly bureucratic perspective. IT guys are ancient (usually over 45 years of age), so they do not understand the changes in trends and have difficulty adapting to new demands. You don't have a career path.
