Pros

Above average basic salary and bonus, great benefits package, supportive managers and head office teams. Plenty of scope for career progression if you are able to be flexible in location. High flyers are "fast tracked"

Cons

Huge international company with some outdated systems. Online career management systems not easy to use at times. If you are not self motivated regarding career development you could miss out on opportunities.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
