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 and time off are definitely a plus, very accommodating.

Cons

Great working environment, but you need to be co cern every year when cuts hit. They rate you average if they plan on cutting you and it seems like the cuts are based higher on the older employees that have many years with the company. Growth was non existing, every year it was senior managers are not allowing any promotions even to 2 rating employees for many years.
