Pros

- My first telco multinational company - Flexible working hours, i can go to office little bit late, or even working from home rarely - Many compensation packages - Open communication - Still a secure place to work during this global financial crisis

Cons

- Unclear career path yet - Prefer to recruit external new experts rather than developing the current employee - Working as costumer facing teams do like a front line fleet in the war. Sometimes it's difficult to seek a backup from management and product development while customer killing us with their complaints. Sometimes we do get better support from selling 3rd party product than the internal product.
