Pros

Of course is not the same as some years ago, but still is a nice company to work for. Experience: you will experience a lot of good challenges, projects, the opportunity to visit other countries, to have assignments in other areas, to deal and share with top and tough professionals. Is a great culture! Flex Time: you can choose your schedule, you can work from home one day per week, on Fridays you work until 1pm, free extra days at the holiday season (dec - jan), if you for some reason needs to get out earlier or arrive late you just talk with you manager. IT Dptment: great tools and connectivity to work from home. If you received an iPhone things are very easy. In my role you almost can work from home everyday. Virtual meetings. People: very professional, multicultural, respect for diversity.

Cons

Professional Development or Promotions: if you work for the Bussiness you will have several opportunities to growth. However if you work for an enabling functions as IT, HR, Finance, Legal and others it will be very difficult to get a promotion...you will need to wait, sometimes several years. Lack of training for the enabling functions. But it's understandable because of the budget restrictions. Even though the company has online courses as HMM, SkillsSoft, and others. Retention of Talent: in some cases is almost impossible that you receive a counteroffer is like a rule, if you want to go then go.
