Pros

A large organization that will build your resume.

Cons

Work life balance is horrible. The company is male dominated because the hours are unrealistic. I have never been in such a toxic work environment where people are sworn at weekly. The chief officers protect their Vice Presidents to a fault. I was forced to make up numbers for reporting purposes which is why I left. This will all be exposed at one point.

Pros

international company with rules and regulations which supports individuals rights.

Cons

The company has gone through a bad management (CEO) and the employees are paying the price for that. Specially the security department has gone under water because of the poor management.

Pros

As a global company, there are many opportunities in many different offices around the world. if you are a successful executive coming from a big corporation, you will have great opportunities here.

Cons

They say they have a great employee culture, but the only priority they actually have is making their stakeholders happy while dismissing employee benefits. They also rather hire from outside instead of promoting from within.
