Pros

The company places high expectations on all of it's employees as well as the managers and provides constant challenges to improve processes and procedures. There are many opportunities to move up within the company.

Cons

while the pros are exciting it is sometimes hard to find a work life balance with the high workload.

Pros

- good solid company to have on your CV - an abundance of information ( just need to find out where to get it!) - some extremely bright people ( but lack any people skills)

Cons

- poor knowledge sharing - watch out for HR as they will say anything to you to get you in the company. Please don't trust them. I was told that they would help my partner get a job in Luxembourg and when I moved over they did nothing to help - senior management are extremely poor in relaying requirements and have no idea about appropriate work levels - hours are horrendous, I work from 830am till 9pm and sometimes need to take calls from Seattle at 1130pm - package is extremely poor compared to expenses in Luxembourg (please do all the maths before you move over) - performance reviews are ridiculous. Your rating is given to you without any discussion or feedback - asking questions is deemed to be seen as push back or not learning fast enough - attrition is extremely high for very obvious reasons - no team spirit
