Pros

The company has a strong ethic in terms of delivering a best-in-class product its customers need and want, and I found it an insightful experience to be immersed that culture, and pick up valuable skills. Its global client reach is amazing and its a great place to build networks. The salary and benefits are very competitive.

Cons

The company likes to present itself as being innovative but it actually handles innovation and entrepreneurship very badly. There is a hierarchical top down management structure based on fear, and managers tend to be selected according to their ability to bully large teams. In many markets it builds a lock on its customers and some of them resent that.
