Upper Management make changes often without ever looking at efficiency of their employees. Little to no raises, poor management in general, no boost to employee morale. Work-horse mentality. Little to no job growth opportunities.

Pros

Large, global company with many departments and divisions. Located in major cities. Large spectrum of jobs, from tech, non-tech, and financial, to administrative. Well-known brand.

Cons

Large company, slow to change. My department is poorly managed. We lack the big picture and strategy. It's not very collaborative, and there is a lot of politics between teams in my division.
