Pros

-Compensation package -Push to deliver results and grow as a professional -Employer provided training

Cons

-Highly political organization that seems to bring out the worst in people- let your imagination run wild. You probably still didn't come up with a vivid enough picture of "the worst". -Massive work- life imbalance -Entrepreneurial spirits do not flourish -The individual is not valued - the corporation rules -I never met anyone in the company who could tell me they loved their job or loved the company. People seem to- and admit to- spending whole lifetimes there because they didn't know what else to do, or because they felt bound by "golden handcuffs".

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
