      Pros

      Offer a very competative salary within sector, good working environment, adequate pension scheme, very friendly approachable professional staff. Work life balance.

      Cons

      In my experience recieved no real appropriate training to keep up to date with the changes being made in my areas of technology thus feeling over the years as de-skilled.

      Went in with great pride but left with a sour taste in my mouth.

      Pros

      Great Pay, 14 day work month, above average benefits, good bunch of colleagues, great multinational exposure.

      Cons

      Extremely poor methods of measure used to evaluate work. During the hiring process, exceptions are laid out but when one performs as expected, other generic measures are used to evaluate. Management have a tendency to sit on important announcements till the very last min, such as layoffs. Management, even though in a good position to do so, pay very very little attention on the work on the ground, therefore ill-equipped to understand the real world requirements.

      not a safe place to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good salary. Have a good available leave days (21 days minimum for permanent) Depending on the team, you might get quite flexible working hours

      Cons

      Not a safe place to work and build career. Practice regular employee layoff (they are not concern on retaining employee). Depending on the team / department you might get a lot of overtime work.
