Pros
People are genuinely nice here. Lots of employees-led events including charity walks etc Big name and reputation Good place to gain experience.
Cons
Mainly just maintaining old business systems and applications. Revitalising business is often brought up but not much is happening. Super slow innovation. Simple stuff like ecommerce websites and social sharing are only being slowly introduced right now (years after other companies have been doing it) but touted by management as some huge new thing. No in-house capabilities. Even minor cometic changes have to go through third-party vendors which takes up to months and thousands of dollars to implement. Average salary compensation but extremely poor benefits. Way-below average annual amount for flexible benefits and one can only claim health-related expenses such as dental cleaning or vision care. Company also keeps cutting costs and removing available items that can be claimed. The food stock up in pantry are only wheat biscuits and sugarless tea, which is really pathetic for a Fortune 500 MNC. Turnover rate is pretty high as a result. Not uncommon to hear people leaving for better benefits and more exciting roles.
