Pros

If you have a good manager than you are set. Good benefits. Smart people. Looks great on a resume.

Cons

Within a year a determination is made on your career track. This will not be shared with you. Very secretive company. Ranking system is sink or swim. Force ranking. Little room for mistakes. Not a friendly place for women or two income familes.

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.
