Pros

Good salary compared to market average Health insurance Retirement saving account Several round recruitment process to ensure the very high quality staff (except middle management and above)

Cons

Very-very weak middle and senior management Operations outside the headquarter are fully controlled, no way to be creative and come up with new ideas. Terrible internal procedures ("be bulletproofed") ZERO INTERNAL CAREER OPPORTUNITY!!!!!!!!!! From emerging countries, there is NO WAY TO MOVE to developed location To get a higher level position, it's easier to leave the firm and apply to the position from outside than be promoted
