Pros

Work from home as needed. Really great perk for families. Fun Events throughout the quarter.

Cons

- Because the department isn't taken seriously the position is for more a college grad. - No true voice within the company. -Like most companies this company is sales driven. The client services department simply exists within the company versus having an actual voice.

Working from home is indeed a great perk. We do our best to pay at fair market value and we are constantly reevaluating roles and salaries. Sorry to hear you didn't feel your group has a voice. As you may know, one of our core values is "Speak up. Step up." We hope you'll take this to heart and let your manager know your concerns.

Pros

Truly global player across cultures and technologies. A place to learn and advance with a strong crop of expert colleagues to collaborate with to really meet the customer needs. Innovation is everywhere and no limits to allow employees to shine. Rewards are generous and achievable and for those who go the extra mile additional benefits are awarded.

Cons

Micromanagement of some issues in some functions, short term achievement focus for country teams instead of mid to longer term goals. Due to expansion, may scare some customers away as they may perceive an "all eggs in one basket" risk scenario
