Pros

I was recruited as part of the graduate program and from day 1 felt challenged. Now out of the company, I can look back and appreciate how great it was to work with mostly very intelligent people, coupled with a supportive team culture and good social life too. Rumuneration was good and fair, with my salary increasing a lot in the 5 years I stayed. A good appreciation for good performance. I was promoted to management / department head role relatively quickly. I was given fantastic training and learning/development opportunities. Good work/life balance and some opportunity for overseas postings. I felt as though the company really tries to live and breath its values, more so than other companies that I have since worked at, which will plast some values on a wall and leave it at that.

Cons

My biggest issue was the products/services that I was selling weren't inspiring nor interesting for me, especially for someone wanting a dynamic career in marketing.
