Pros

The company employed many talented and smart people. It also offers many opportunities to travel and relocate internationally. The salary is competitive and each relocation includes a generous compensation package.

Cons

The company is excessively hierarchical. Managers are not empowered to make key decisions without jumping through hoops. Operational decisions are controlled by disconnected outsiders. The bonus structure also creates perverse incentives. Employees are pressured to rush projects and deliver incomplete products to ensure bonuses are payed out.
