Pros

Great brand, some outstanding international and currency capabilities

Cons

Job design is horrific (you just get swamped and are expected to somehow survive the first horror-show of 6-months to 1 year until you figure things out). No employee support, management believes negativity is somehow motivating (?), and IT/business processes are labyrinthine and antiquated. The entire company needs to be re-engineered from the ground up and most of the management and lifers canned.
