Pros

Just a big brand company

Cons

unethical HR practices and volatile decision making which changes almost every month or in some cases, every week. Managers are weak and cannot protect their own staff. I have no idea what most managers are doing or getting paid for as so many corporate staff do not even have basic experience for the job roles they are doing. Some are transferred into the roles although they do not even want it because they have no choice. Any change in decision based on whims and fancies can make or break one's career within a day. Things used to be so much more stable here but now so many offices are in complete chaos. At one point, mass hiring can be witnessed but that was bad decision making and now its mass firing once they know the report targets cannot be met or achieved. This company is unethical so you need to be like them in order to make career moves. They are losing most of their shareholders and partners if not only for their big brand name. I would also be wary of the positive reviews on glassdoor as it seems like HR has asked people to write those.

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.
