          Expectation to always be available. Inexperienced and hands off middle management. No clear expectations or upward mobility. Hard work is often ignored.

              Pros

              Great company with excellent facilities and above average benefits. Most people are dedicated and helpful and you'll learn a lot by working on challenging projects.

              Cons

              Beware of joining IT Development. Initial salary and benefits offered would seem much better than any other employer... but take caution. You'll soon find yourself working in impossible situations putting in 2x effort - 24x7 for most of your time with this company. If anyone is thinking of joining then make sure you;re paid at least 75 to 100 percent higher than what the market offers to make your time and efforts...

                Good salary Great retirement Nice location

                Cons

                If you are Finance or IT you are treated like the help and there is no advancement so I hope you like the job you come it at.

                Advice to Management

                Could you make Shared Services feel like they are important to the firm, because it wouldn’t run without them.
