Pros

- Growing International Corporation - Opportunity to quickly advance - Great for people looking for company politics and a corporate ladder to climb.

Cons

- No work life balance, expect to but in and maintain 60 plus hours to be in contention for advancement. - Corporate culture is very does not encourage flexibility even though they tell employees it does. - Incompetent lower and middle management. Nepotism, unrealistic expectations for employees, a lack of respect, and clickish. - High Turnover in most departments. - Pay is mediocre/low relative to work expectations. - In office dress code is essentially business professional, especially for men. Expect to wear a suit and tie. - Very strict office etiquette, must push in chair at desks or get written up.
