Pros

Good retirement package and health benefits.

Cons

Global leadership is terrible, HR head in North America is cold and defensive. Fall in line, don’t speak up, don’t be proactive, don’t make waves, don’t give feedback, don’t disturb the status quo. They preach values for workforce to apply while leadership could not care less unless you are in some inner circle. Very difficult to make any positive contributions with roadblocks and red tape every step of the way. Culture is very toxic and feeling overworked is the norm. Almost no chance for promotions and company will use you and string you along without caring about your growth.
