Pros

- A truly global company with a global perspective. - Good execution of strategic plans. - Lots of opportunities for those starting their careers. - Processes are well-defined and documented.

Cons

- Lack of diversity; preference is for a very young (and green) work force that can be molded. Senior Management has very few Americans. - Lots of talk about their "10 principles", but a failure to live by them. - INORDINATE emphasis on cost cutting. - While they talk about a meritocracy and variable compensation, the main benefactors of this program are higher level management. Variable compensation at lower levels is mediocre at best. - Unless you are on a "fast track" you are not truly valued by the company. - Lots of turnover. - Failure to keep up their reputation for good corporate citizenship.

Pros

Great Benefits, Great Coworkers, Cafe at HQ

Cons

Position was eliminated following 10 years of dedicated service, with no transition placement or internal employment opportunities provided. I also don't believe the company knows or understands it's own culture.
