Pros

Training opportunities, particularly the online resources for self-learning and career management Global exposure Enjoyed the camaraderie with colleagues; a professional, supportive environment Challenging and diverse work Fixed step program for new grads is excellent; it provides a wealth of learning opportunities and ways of contributing to the organization, as well as a clear path for earning the next promotion.

Cons

Work/life balance is poor at times In spite of the formal processes in place regarding people management, decisions involving promotions and mobility could be more transparent, fair, respectful of employees' needs, and long-sighted. This is especially true for mid-career hires.
