Interesting place

Pros

Some of the people there are pretty solid, you can expect to learn all the industry standard stuff, oh, and making pretty powerpoint charts.

Cons

The company now has 10000 employees, but it still feels like an old boys' club; with the few founders sitting on the top. You are either 'in' their circle or 'out'.

Pros

Good working environment with great working culture. The exposure to different aspects of the business is great. Employees have the potential to work on high profile projects. .

Cons

The company is extremely big and bureaucratic. The ability to move laterally is getting more and more difficult. This can lead to bad morale amongst the younger employees.
