Great Company but not good at keeping talented employees

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company with lots of great projects and well structured full disciplines. The perfect place for new graduates to start their career. Global team with frequent communications and experience exchanges. Megaprojects to be involved in and opportunities to work with the global team.

Cons

Non-competitive salaries, conservative promotions and pay raise. Sinor or Management positions are paid well but usually undervalued for intermediate positions. Offen has seen talented people leave for much better salaries. The above comments may not be exact across countries or offices.

Great Place To Work

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

This place has a fantastic work ethos, smart people, and tight knit teams committed to doing good work. They recognize that everything's a learning process, and provided that you work hard you can see the positive results of your work in front of you and you are appreciated for them. People work in small teams within a big company, really getting the best of both worlds on that front.

Cons

Not very many; the hours are long I suppose, but the work is cool and there is a sense of ownership to it that makes them worthwhile.
