      Chambers should pay attention not only to the bottom line of the company, but to the bottom people and up a couple level

      Pros

      Name recognition. Leader in industry. My managers were cordial, but I often felt alienated compared to my Indian peers. It was discouraging feeling.

      Cons

      Not diverse. If you're not from India and Middle East, you excluded from promotions and favoritism. Managers are not properly trained. If you're technically strong and want to be a manager, you will be one. That should not be the only prerequisite to lead a team. Proper management training is a must.
