Business Outlook

Pros

Nice, solid and relatively stable global company Pay is good

Cons

IT is largely based in Bangalore and Europe. Working in US IT can sometimes feel like you are on the outside. Because of the "world class" IT support, discussions can sometimes take days as opposed to talking to someone in your own timezone.
