Pros

A famous brand, that's it!

Cons

- Very easy to maintain your job if you are "smart" enough, just play with them, when everybody is fighting for their tasks, you can only cost 2 hours to finish the job for the whole week, then pretend hard working - Very easy to deal with the managers or whoever above your position, just play your role like in a drama, say what they think you should say, do what look smart but actually stupid as management suggested. - Very easy to feel proud if you are in IT department, as they are using systems from Jurassic Period, if you know a bit Database, or coding .NET ...just something very superficial, you may look like a HERO to them. - Very nice OLD employ will teach you get a long with managers, as they will be your reference in the future. - Very nice peers will strongly support you to find another job outside of the company when they think you are a danger one, who blocked their way up. - Very hi-tech management will provide you a blackberry to ring you up at 2 am and asks you to give a response in 20 mins without over time pay. - Very easy to avoid making any trouble at work, what you need to know is make things as big as you can, let as many as ppl to involve, they will fight with each other very quickly and eventually totally forget about who you are and what you have done, sometimes even yourself dont know who you are! - Very fair anonymous survey every year as all managers will 100% sure who gave them negative feedback.
