Pros

The salary is great. Everyone is very, very relaxed and it's pretty much a stress-free work environment. This is a great place to work if you want to have a life outside of work. I tend to get in at 9.30 and often leave at 4.45pm.

Cons

Ambition level is pretty low. Everyone seems to be fine with coasting and simply creating work that is average. We aren't really pushing the envelope or innovating.

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of learning opportunities. People seem impressed when you say you worked there.

Cons

They openly pay women substantially less (up to 50% less) than what they pay men who don't do half the work of the women. Politics were horrendous. Infighting among middle and lower management created hostility between departments, so it was difficult to get everyone working in the same direction.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation, international, good reputation, Nice office

Cons

Senior Management is clueless. Office Management is weak and old. If you are not part of the old gang you don't get anywhere. Every year or two 10% of the employees are layed off.
