Pros

A place you can hide and pull a pay-check without being noticed – if that’s what you want… Benefits are OK – although there is a strong hierarchical approach, and you need to be in a senior role to get the good compensation.

Cons

No decision-making, just endless ‘stakeholder management’ consuming time and sucking your will to live. If you like sitting in meetings with no conclusion– this is the place to be. Matrix organisation means there is no clear leadership, and direction is set by various people who are all working towards their own personal agenda. Senior leadership all on ex-pat assignment, so no long term strategy that doesn’t reward in the short term is entertained.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
