Pros

Global company. Many business lines.

Cons

No communication from upper management except corporate platitudes and stiffling bureaucratic rules. Corporate strategy of constantly buying companies and then burning them. Despite several years and many, many acquisitions, still clueless on how to actually integrate purchased businesses into the firm - you would think the C-level would have learned by now just through shear repitition. A strategy of buying everything and growing too big to fail. Proven track record of dismantling successful firms they've acquired. I'll let you guess where this leaves the average employee and what the employees long-term prospects are....

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
