Pros

- Great people to work with

Cons

- The American execs have completely gutted the great #human culture. - The annual reviews are ruthless. They're borderline illegal here in AU/NZ because ratings are manipulated to force out a certain number (percentage) of good-performing staff regardless of their actual performance.
