Pros

- Friendly and multicultural environment - People development is taken really seriously. You won't be stuck in the same position for more than 1-2 years specially when you are starting. - People training is very good, you have workshops at least once a year to improve individual or team performances. - Challenging industry, regulations change at least once a year and you need to reinvent your marketing strategy constantly. Thinking outside of the box will really help you. - Management Team is really flexible and you can always obtain permission for doing personal things - Very good year bonus for achieving company's objectives - Good Health Benefits - Gym discounts - Good location if you work for the southern cone area.

Cons

- Balance with personal life is not good at all. There is a bad inherited habit that is normal for people to stay until 7-8 or more and is considered acceptable. Besides there is always budget limitations for hiring more people. - Bureaucracy can be really tiring. People end up doing the same task 5 times because approvals are needed locally, regionally and globally. And of course all directors think differently. - This is not a very plannified company, changes are constant and people end up running all the time to achieve the same deadlines.
