Pros

Good work-life balance Very broad exposure to lots of different functions Provides ample opportunity for improving communication skills (out of necessity - you need to communicate a lot to get things accomplished) Great cafeteria - healthy and tasty foods for extremely reasonable prices State-of-the-art gym - very clean facilities and good classes

Cons

Unclear company strategy / mission Lack of training 2 weeks of vacation?!! Expensive health insurance Political and hierarchical Very traditional / stodgy culture Strict dress code - 1 jeans day / year, if even that

Pros

Friendly and helpful colleagues, weekly pay and flexible schedule

When it is busy, it is very busy. Lunch/Break may get pushed back or even denied in extreme cases because there is no one to cover for you.
