Pros

The money and benefits are second to none

Cons

You are treated as a number, trampled by professional climbers, you cannot progress without a 'sponsor' and a minority background. The business reduces risk by reducing the scope of each role such that no significant impact results from underperformance of those at grade 36 and below, the result of which is to make the roles overly simple and highly repetitive, and not commensurate with a good salary.

Echo Chamber!

Pros

Fast paced so you have to do a lot in the 24 hours of a day which pushes your limit. PowerPoint, PowerPoint, PowerPoint. All PPT slides are prepared like a magazine ready for publication so you learn to shade, color, size the fonts and shapes for optimal illustration. Leaders are usually those who have been in the company for a very long time so they know each other like family. Get on their good side and you'll easily get promoted left, right, center, across continents etc.

Cons

High attrition and practices layoffs regularly in large batches. If you join mid career from external companies, you'll never get a fair chance against those who exist in the system for years, especially Global Graduates who are given special treatment from the day they graduate. This is a big MNC that's an echo chamber. Everyone ensures to use the same words or vocabs that a leader started using and soon a group of leaders start using the word to form some sort of bonding although deep down they do not necessarily agree. Smoking and vaping in the office are common practices although the policy says no. So be warned.

Pros

Decent pay, benefits are good.

Cons

This company has zero respect for its employees. The longer you’ve been around the worse you’re treated. Unrealistic expectations. Unethical business practices. I was embarrassed to be the face of this company
