Pros

Canteen and gyms were good.

Cons

Poor management, lack of resources and communication. Short sighted understanding of the function I worked in. I have worked with better and bigger American service companies. Very poor leadership and understanding of strategy. No technology in place to support.

Pros

I learnt so much from everyone I had worked with, everyday teaches me new things. "Life itself is a teacher where we learn both in the good and bad way, all is to make us a better person in life" no regret at all. I learnt to always be yourself, it was a great experience. I loved everyone like I loved myself and my family, everyone cannot be perfect and it is always good to tolerate others.

Cons

I wish I saw my being laid-off coming so that I can be much well prepared for it, it took me with a shock because I worked both too hard and too smart because I believe in "what is worth doing at all is worth doing best and not the normal saying that you work smart and not work hard". I did the job like it was my own personal company, I put all my best in it and it hit so hard.
