Pros

Great brand, some outstanding international and currency capabilities

Cons

Job design is horrific (you just get swamped and are expected to somehow survive the first horror-show of 6-months to 1 year until you figure things out). No employee support, management believes negativity is somehow motivating (?), and IT/business processes are labyrinthine and antiquated. The entire company needs to be re-engineered from the ground up and most of the management and lifers canned.

Pros

Genuinely nice people work all around me.

Cons

Management will place self-preservation above all. Will step over everyone's head to get to the top. The difference in communication between superiors and staff is stark and evident. I was forced to teach people in a different country who ultimately took my whole department's job. Degrading and unethical bottom line thinking.
