Good company, but....

Pros

Benefits, compensation, culture and diversity. Not all the departments enjoy home office (i.e Finance) Good exposure to high levels working in a multicultural environment your mature level is higher compared with other companies, supervisors can be managers and these can be directors in any other company due to the high level of responsability.

Cons

Top management in specific in Finance function, only one Director of a team of 4 make the promotion decisitions, project assignment, best roles and always there are preferences for their own team. there is a lack of support for the rest of the Finance team members. Your career will depend of your line manager, it does not matter your effort or years in the company, if you are not the predilect will remain at the same level/position. Some positions does not allow holidays when you decide to take. When you are hired as employee (not trainee) is very difficult to have a promotion, because trainees have preference over other candidates. Never had a response regarding why company contracted people from outside the company instead of develop talent. There is not worklife balance in Finance as happen in other functions, long work hours per week (+60 hours).

Cons

No lifestyle balance, financial company, its a global company where you can not take your own decisions, therefore there are few things you can do on direct marketing
