Pros

Benefits, child care center, networking with people from all over the world, respect for people's culture

Cons

lack of training, meritocracy. Too much politics, good people is not hired or promoted. You only get promoted if you have connections. No training, and if you do something wrong, they blame you even if you weren't trained to do it.

Pros

Benefits & pay are competitive. Not the top in the industry, but good. Excellent opportunities for professional development for people who are self-starters and motivated to learn.

Cons

Business leaders use all the popular buzzwords and phrasing to assure you the business is leading the industry, but in practice Senior Leadership is hanging on to archaic business strategies like their lives depend on it.
