It looks good on paper

Pros

They have global presence and support many causes. The benefits package is quite good, one of the best in the industry.

Cons

Managers take credit for your ideas and accomplishments, and the "little guy" never gets promoted. Salary raises are either non-existent or laughable. Meetings are the biggest downfall -- they take away from your work time, but you still have to do all your work, so you get to work like a horse. Nobody recognizes your good, hard work. If you're friends with your manager or know how to brown-nose, you get all kinds of perks.
