Pros

Good people to work with. Good opportunities to move between departments and cross train skills. Good working hours, employees aren't obliged to work longer than their contracted hours

Cons

Not too many negatives, perhaps the bonus could be more competitive for support staff than it is currently. Plus salary levels lower than competitiors

Pros

Very good benefits in terms of vacation and 401K, but health benefit was considerably downgraded this year. It very rarely lays off workers. It is a "pro" for people who are looking for an easy place to make an easy salary and do not want to worry too much about being fired.

Cons

Lack of excitement, lots of office politics and bureaucracies. Very poor office admin support staff. It is a nightmare to book a conf room, get a laptop for traveling, report a system access issue, etc. I guess part of the problem can be attributed to its pure large size. However it is explained, it is just painful. People from UK office are given more opportunities than others, which is demoralizing to US workers.
