Pros

Goal-oriented. Strong vision for the company's future. Benefits are good. I enjoyed working with the local people.

Cons

Recent branding "I create community" is ignored when it comes to the people and the community who work for them. Top tier management does not know what's going on with the day-to-day projects and the needs of their employees. There's a lack of advancement and if someone leaves the company, their role is often absorbed, leaving those left with more responsibilities that often don't match their job description.

Lots of employee perks, bright, new office.

Cons

Big company focusing much of its attention acquiring smaller companies instead of ensuring proper employee orientation and integration. Many in-house issues not being addressed. HUGE lack of senior staff leading to low morale and mismanagement of sections. Values quantity over quality.
