Pros

Very good benefits, good culture and friendly co-workers

Cons

Instead of investing on innovation and promoting new ideas, some upper management thinking for their own position and benefits. Therefore no new ideas are recognized, and no body get promoted. Some upper management are not familiar with different industry ad therefore they don't have the right idea to develop the right tool for specific industry.
