Pros

I'm able to work somewhat flexible hours.

Cons

Expense reduction has gone too far. All hiring is now offshore. Every year there is another new policy or two that result in employees paying more or earning less.

Pros

Highly respected name Good exposure to unusual management practices Multicultural working environment Ability to work from home when required Flexible up to a point Emphasis on innovation

Cons

Promotion esentially time served based rather than merit based Lack of training Too easy to get trapped in a muddy backwater without gaining transferrable skills Mushroom management Too hierachical, with multitude of managers with overlapping responsibility Stupid cost controls, you can get a brand new laptop no problem, but forget getting a bag to put it in, or even a pen to write with.

Pros

Cons

well, not much to add but only that the manager are just ok and also the building is kind of old if you will.
