Pros

Large multinational company, chance of an international career if you are willing to live abroad. I started in Mexico and then had a change for a Short term Assignment in HQ in Switzerland, and after that got a job in US. Benefits are ok, I guess on the average on big companies. Senior management is often open and great and experienced people.

Cons

I guess is the same on a lot of places but work/life balance is tough for Finance department, tight deadlines on closing, a lot of monthly business reviews on the middle of closing process or before full close is done.

Overall good employer but highly depending on the team and manager

Pros

Global presence, multinational environment, collaborative team culture, technology driven

Cons

Depending on which team you are in, it can be very bureaucratic. Some managers should not have been hired or promoted but they did. Company pace can be slow. They don't hire enough high potential and well educated people to drive growth. Value experience (years of working time) more than education and intelligence, which is a mistake. Senior people at important position but do not have the leadership to attract talent and drive business. Culture can be political.
