Pros

Good environment and welcoming. Most people that work here have a good attitude towards others. A lot of diversity when it comes to job offerings because of it being an international company.

Cons

Hard work is not rewarded or appreciated, lower level management is bad 80% of the time. Corporate mindset that is strict and rigid.
