Pros

Friendly atmosphere Multi-cultural Work hard and play hard mentality Career progression paths for those with good political skills.

Cons

Non-meritocracy - it can be difficult to get your hard work recognised, as immediate management control performance reviews and work statistics (error counts etc.). The company tries it's best to use these statistics when deciding who should be promoted, but when they are often doctored at source (errors are not as strictly recorded), friends of managers and those of the same nationality of managers/seniors are often chosen over better candidates.

Pros

Great company and good employees

Cons

This is one of the worst places I have ever worked. They do not care about their employees here; to them, you are just another number. They get upset when you use your sick days, even though they are a legal right, and then retaliate against you by punishing you when you return to work. And be careful about filing a complaint with Human Resources because they are two-faced. Instead of helping you, it often ends up backfiring on you. That is why no one feels comfortable going to them. This company does not appreciate or value its employees unless you have connections or favoritism. Management, starting from the top, has no clear direction. Everything constantly changes, even when it is not the best option, simply because someone higher up decided it. The environment feels outdated and authoritarian, like something from another era. There is a lot of hypocrisy, resentment, and abuse of power.
