Pros

Large multinational company, chance of an international career if you are willing to live abroad. I started in Mexico and then had a change for a Short term Assignment in HQ in Switzerland, and after that got a job in US. Benefits are ok, I guess on the average on big companies. Senior management is often open and great and experienced people.

Cons

I guess is the same on a lot of places but work/life balance is tough for Finance department, tight deadlines on closing, a lot of monthly business reviews on the middle of closing process or before full close is done.

Pros

Cons

Work-life balance can be inconsistent depending on department and production demands * Advancement opportunities may feel limited without moving into management or relocating * Communication and management consistency can vary between shifts/departments * Production pressure and changing priorities can create stress in quality-related roles * Some roles may require overtime or schedule flexibility that can be difficult for employees with family responsibilities * Recognition for process improvements and extra responsibilities may not always match workload expectations * Culture can feel more production-focused than employee-focused at times
