Pros

Nice (new) office Good brand name for those who does not know about this company (large organisation etc)

Cons

Continuous cost cutting, including hiring in low cost countries and terminating employees in non-low cost countries (to save cost). But they did not consider the "quality" issue. So many employees are made redundant each month. It is even worse if they hire someone and in less than a year make them redundant. Everything is outsourced, nothing is left in the country, no future working here unless you are located in a low cost country Poor leader making all sorts of wrong decisions, wrong focus.

Pros

Benefits are better than most US companies. You get twice or triple the numbers of days off per year.

Cons

Focus is more on originating company location for group events and emails. Due to time zone differences, it can be difficult to work with others without adjusting your schedule. It is difficult to get promoted outside originating country. Roles are few and far between in the US.
