Pros

Fast career grow. Basic benefits package are fair, dental and medical. Interesting stock purchase plan for employees. Somewhat flexible work time.

Cons

Extremely competitive environment. It's part of their culture, they believe it is for the best of the business, and for sure it has been demonstrated in practice that it is, but unfortunately it goes against work-life balance and employees sake. None or at least minimum follow up or training for non operational positions. Their merit recognition and professional assessment are almost useless for many positions and many countries. Unfortunately the union of fast career grow, lack of proper training and no real mentoring has led to promote unprepared professionals. Powerless and careless HR.
