Pros

Great company to work for - always receives kudos as top place for women to work Historically, employee development and leadership have been valued Great brand for a service business, globally recognized and good reputation People are proud to work there

Cons

In past couple of years, leadership in some parts of the company has tarnished a bit and there have been many senior management changes, particularly in the B2B area of the company. Perhaps due to the global economic situation.
