Pros

Large multinational company with a lot of opportunities to develop. Friendly atmosphere to work in.

Cons

Sometimes feel as if you are not sufficiently rewarded for you efforts. Rewards packages geared more towards more those at higher levels, particularly in respect of bonuses (bonuses for those with <5 years experience are virtually non-existant). Some recent restucturing excerices leave you with the feeling your job is never safe, regardless of how well you or your unit is doing. Have seen some poor units closed, as well as some excellent ones.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
