Pros

Large multinational company with many opportunities to move. Company has such a dominance inthe marketplace, there is some feeling of security, although that is never truly guaranteed. Company can compete very well when it comes to salary and the ability to pay for a relocation for experienced emplyees.

Cons

Very rigid with respect to HR policies and making individual allowances. Company does not like to vary from it playbook of rules. A potential employee gets the feeling that they are worried about conflicts concerning alignment of benefits. The company is highly political. The workload is exceptionally high, and turnover is a serious problem.

Pros

Good to start your career and move on. You career opportunities are based in who you know and not in your performance.

Cons

Structure is not there, they take to long to decide anything, and there is no clear message on where the company is going, and at first sign of trouble they take on head count.
