Pros

Some high profile projects which are good on your portfolio

Cons

No direction and leadership. Projects are always overdelivered at the expense of employee welfare. Zero talent retention initiatives. Zero training. No structured career progression. Management leads people on with empty promises. Overall, company treats people like a pawn.

Pros

The projects are one of the best developments you can hope to work for. A good variation of teams across different countries, that you can learn from, especially in other disciplines.

Cons

No sense of direction especially for Juniors. You are just a worker here, it is too top heavy for anyone to care about you. If you're young just come here to work on cool projects but then leave after 2-3 years tops, you cant climb up ladders here, so just take from it what you can and then leave. When push comes to shove, the top guys will not care for you and chuck you out with no problems, and without giving you what you deserve. it seems like a right mess and you'll be left in the dark. learn and leave!

Pros

Good medical benefits and insurance coverage. Overtime entitlement for lower salaried staffs.

Cons

Everything else, culture is like SME, still using LAN phone (no IP phones), bonus and salary not distributed fairly according to performance grading, no proper planning and forecast, no process, many systems that does not sync (we work for systems rather than system works for us), always no budget, etc.
