Pros

Great opportunity for international employees and women. Some great managers at the the top. Very steady business always slowly growing. Benefits are very good.

Cons

Company has run out of ideas to save money and grow sales so is slashing internal staff and going to "global hubs". Has gone far away from its plans to become a best place to work.
