Pros

Great opportunity for international employees and women. Some great managers at the the top. Very steady business always slowly growing. Benefits are very good.

Cons

Company has run out of ideas to save money and grow sales so is slashing internal staff and going to "global hubs". Has gone far away from its plans to become a best place to work.

Pros

Multinational allowing for growth and development, internal online and on-the-job training. Team work, communication and management skills valued the most. Opportunity for recognition of efforts beyond one's job via YCMAD programs.

Cons

Small office, distant location and little light in the room. (Sofia office) Limited opportunity for further development after end of short-term assignments.
