Pros

There is only a single upside and used to be money. However there is no rule of law at the Office and therefore they could wipe out the conditions at any time. Do not apply here

Cons

Short sighted management, nepotism, no merit recognition, arbitrary decision, no legal jurisdiction by local tribunal, human rights not respected, suicidal place

Pros

Great Environment, International and friendly , Amazing Food court with a lot of choice cooked on the premises, in house bar and gym , relaxed working environment

Cons

If you are not on a permanent contract, there are no opportunities to develop, regardless of your position. Also its a vast organisation, thus not really always easy to know your collegues
