Pros

Compensation adequate and flexibility is visible. Continued company growth leading to confident job security. Good exposure to wide variety of tasks and if willing you can become involved in wide variety of tasks. Recent push for globalisation of effective systems has led to improvements in technology.

Cons

Lacking career structure in several departments. Recent visible loss of excellent long serving staff over lack of career opportunities or recognition of role undertaken. Promotions appear to be possible for higher ranking but lower levels asked to cut costs and reduce promotion opportunities as cost savings. Continued miss match between opportunities in parent country and the rest of the world.

Pros

Some of the coworkers there were the best coworkers around. Learned a lot of different skills. That's about it.

Cons

Management. They will promote just about anybody whether or not you are qualified. Overworked. Not enough employees for the amount of work they have. High stress job and you will get no help from your supervisor. No work life balance. Low pay. I quit as soon as another opportunity came to be.
