      Top heavy, mafia organization structure with limited growth potential and blatant discrimination.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Worldwide presence with employees from a diverse background, allowing you to work in a multicultural environment. Great fixed step training at the beginning of your career, and reasonable relocation opportunities if mobile. Compensation is on par with other service companies in the industry, especially for those who are International Mobile and have families (housing, schooling, etc.).

      Cons

      Management is a mafia structure, with progression strictly restricted based on who you know in the company. Whilst growth, promotion, and career choices are shown as performance based, this is not the case. Core values of the company are forgotten under the current management, and is evident from how the company handles the downturn - laid off thousands of revenue generating employees based on compensation (employees with families were cut first, independent of performance), whilst little-to-no changes were made with management. Finally, after three full years from downturn, when an entire management tier was eliminated, they were simply restructured around and not reduced. Benefits are being reduced every quarter; however, dependent on level in organization.
