Pros

Competitive salary and benefits, location easy to access, large company so all expected systems are in place. Overall an ok place to work.

Cons

Cultural differences mean overseas management doesn't listen to employees. There is a dictatorial management culture which demands long hours during frequent artificial crises. No training or career progression offered.

Pros

Product - depth and breadth of range, higher than avg. salaries (think of it as danger or hardship money), marketing $$$ to burn - and burn we do.

Cons

Executive management team unnecessarily agressive and unpleasant to work for. General lack of senior leadership. Inneffecient and over processed environment. Lack of basic collaboration, tools and intent, between groups and divisions. In some cases heads of division perceive each other to be the competition. Very high staff attrition.
