Pros

There are no pros to working here. Especially if you aren't of the right caste/ethnicity/gender.

Cons

Imagine working as a woman of color in the USA in 1900. That's what it was like as an American at this company in 2021. I witnessed so much BLATANT SEXISM as well as bias against any Americans at this company. Avoid them unless you REALLY need a job. Leave at the first opportunity of anything better.

Not a Great Company to Work For

Pros

Large Company, with opportunities for training/learning. Okay benefits, with the exception of Vacation Leave (two weeks forever).

Cons

Treat employees like children. Performance reviews are forced to bell curve, meaning many people rated one or two levels below actual their performance level ... seems more tied to financials than actual employee performance. There is nothing an employee can do to improve their performance rating. Promotions are more for "status" than anything else and have little real value. A so called "Bonus" is forced on employees, which is based on performance review ... targets set with financial penalties, which most are not allowed to achieve. Like to put lipstick on the pig ... make everything sound better than it really is, such that even good things can be disappointing. Huge company with many "one size fits all" policies, often leading to silly outcomes. When employees are unsatisfied (and a large number are), it's put on low level managers, when the real problems are higher up. In some ways, HR seems to run the company, and is often non-responsive to queries.

Pros

It's a job I guess.

Cons

-The company blatantly promoted benefits during the hiring process that they walked back on upon confirmation. -Leadership and management were disorganized and unresponsive. -Employees are treated like interchangeable cogs in a machine. There’s no genuine investment in individual well-being or growth.
