Pros
Highly intelligent colleagues Benefits and pension scheme and flexible working options International and diverse workforce (at the individual contributor level) Opportunity to have a diverse range of career experiences if you spend significant networking
Cons
Autocratic, bureaucratic & antiquated management style is prevalent in leadership team Unethical behavior incongruent with company values exhibited by leadership is tolerated and covered-up Wide-spread culture of cloak-and-dagger behaviors at multiple-layers in the organization Culture of rewarding style over substance Over-rewarded old-guard which act not in the best interests of the company and are overly self-oriented Career progression is overly reliant on line-manager without taking other points of view and requires excessive time spent networking to obtain Career potential is no-longer assessed formally until Job Grade 2+ in the company Employee engagement widely superficial and there was evidence of people engagement surveys are back-solved to "work out" who reported feedback HR is offshored and also too far removed from the reality of activities "at the coal-face" often invisible and often acts incongruently to company values
