Pros

Good benefits, decent pay, and decent job experience if you can get on the right projects

Cons

Some departments have a "chew 'em up and spit 'em out" attitude. AP and AR have been outsourced and they are looking to outsource anything they possibly can. Been through 7 reorgs in 5 years.

Pros

This company has the best benefits I've seen. The pay scale is more than I was expecting. Get PTO on your 1st day and it is more than just a few days.

Cons

Working 6-7 days nearly every week of the year, holidays you shouldn't expect more than 1 weekday off even for Christmas.

Pros

Lots of smart, friendly people from different places that go out of their way to help. Pretty decent pay & benefits. Accessible management, although there are some snooty ones that think they're special. There is pride in the products and in the business although many people leave eventually to pursue greener pastures. Due to the medium size & global presence, there is a lot of exposure to doing business with a global outlook as well gaining international experience. Possible opportunities to shine due to the crude way the company gets things done. Headquartered in London! If you're really lucky you may even get to visit the Global Head Office (GHO).

Cons

Different divisions operate on their own terms and it is surprisingly siloed for a relatively small company. Systems that do not communicate with each other makes information gathering so tedious and time consuming the decisions are made based on incomplete/incorrect/guesstimated data. Lots of churn in upper management which results in goals and focus being changed frequently.
