An international company

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

It's an international organization, with thousands of employees. This makes it rather easy to move from one location/position to another. It also makes it possible to have a reasonable career development within the same company. It serves academia, so it's generally employing smart people.

Cons

Some departments are understaffed, so people can be overworked. At least in some locations it's easy to find support people that are not really working. senior management really care only about the bottom line. While one of the mantra of the company is "value our people", this is not really happening.
