Pros

Good for learning, development, promotions and career change. Good pay/benefits. Very good brand to work for and having the name on the cv will add value.

Cons

Lack of mobility, orientation program can be better and less boring. A typical new joiner might take upto weeks to know some very basic things.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
