Business Outlook

Pros

Great offices with a great kitchen (snacks, drinks, breakfast) Feeling of being plugged into an amazing communications network 24/7 (also a con) Ask for more responsibility and you'll get it (be careful how much you ask for) [Some] very intelligent and interesting work colleagues Good at spotting and rewarding talent Great focus on environmental issues, carbon footprint and recycling Great benefits

Cons

Working hours Work life balance That 24/7 plugged-in feeling works both ways [Some] not very intelligent and interesting work colleagues Technology not cutting edge (unless you're very talented and able to push something new) Lots of maintenance of existing systems Types of work, job satisfaction and colleagues very dependant on which team you join

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a fun company to work at although the work can be a drag, the entry-level positions aren't that great so you have to work hard at distinguishing yourself. Network heavily and step up, make your own career.

Cons

Management has difficulty communicating key goals and initiatives. The business model is a little older, although they seem to have a good sense of this. Tough to get promoted if you don't work.
