Pros

If you work hard, you have many opportunities ahead of you in the company. The other employees are excellent as well, almost like an extended family. Have developed many close friendships - unfortunately the company is quite mobile, so those friendships turn into long distance, however more people come in and you develop additional friendships.

Cons

Sometimes too much is expected of the employees, results are expected to be at expoenential growth year on year. The company has a mindset that is really "who is at fault" even though the culture is taught to be "no fault". Every step you take it seems you are being watched and will effect your future opportunities - very political.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
