      Small company environment, with opportunities to excel with hardwork.

      Pros

      Small company environment, with opportunities to excel with hardwork.

      Cons

      Most managers work on perception, and that may lead to unfair treatment of employees. Not all groups have similar requirements for promotion or compensation bonuses etc. so that can be demoralising if you are at not in the 'right group, or the more favored projects'. Also the whole cost cutting thing is getting too far, the Berkeley office has been shrinking and everyone's expected to almost work on a 24hr cycle to keep up with the offshore offices.

      Strong focus on cost cutting and margin expansion. Not so much on career development....

      Pros

      Great global footprint. Smart people in all departments and at all levels. Strong strategic focus. People who know how to deliver strong results.

      Cons

      Some very senior managers show no loyalty to staff. Some emerging markets offices never receive visits from senior managers. Loyalty is not evenly rewarded. Promotions at the highest levels are motivated for reasons other than merit-based.
