Pros

- ERP (SAP 4S) works well - variable pay bonus - fun environment

Cons

- leadership can be better. If upper management doesn't like you, they'll find ways to get you out - GBS is ramping up but there is no clear / consistent support from upper management - HR sides with management always and rarely stands up for employees.
