Pros

Excellent salary and benefit package. Rapid advancement for gifted, competitive leaders. Challenging work assignment that stretch the ability of personnel at all levels.

Cons

A poor balance between personal life and work life. An open office concept provides a seemingly high level of communication with the strong downside of constant distraction that pervents concentration on complex tasks. An overall organization that does reorganizations every few years with the obvious purpose of reducing staff levels.

Pros

Very open and friendly culture, flat hierarchy, great relationships between all levels (management and non-management), the Mars 5 principles, friendly and helpful colleagues, a lot of freedom, a fun place to work!

Cons

Very decentralised, sometimes too much of freedom and little structure, not always easy to get the job done. Communication and knowledge transfer is not the best. Either you love it and can work for, or you don't.

Pros

Family-owned; collaborative, open culture; focused on employee satisfaction; culture built around Five Principles: Quality, Responsibility, Mutuality, Efficiency and Freedom

Cons

Minimal training or on-boarding - you sink or swim; while intercompany communication is good, work is ultimately accomplished by relationship building (not a bad thing, or unusual, but it can be hard to find the people you need to know)
