Pros

Good access to knowledge & Training, work/collaborate with highly talented individuals.

Cons

People management is extremely poor, with clear bias in how projects are assigned and promotions are handled. The same individuals keep getting opportunities, while others are left out. If you end up on the bench, you're blamed or even bullied for it. Your interests and preferences don’t matter—what matters is blindly agreeing to whatever your manager assigns, only then do you stay in their good books. Over time, it feels like they deliberately push you toward resigning, so they can avoid the accountability of formally letting an employee go (due to labor laws in the region)
