      Not great, but I had a poor manager.

      Pros

      Interesting industry with lots of nice people who are enthusiastic about what they do. Also, given the online aspect, it is an innovative company with a unique business offering and lots to learn

      Cons

      Not a very good learning atmosphere for my personal experience. My boss left me to my own devices after two weeks and never gave me the opportunity to understand my role. However, I know other people who had a better manager and a much better experience.

      Pros

      The world is your oyster if you are willing to work for it. There are many divisions, different companies and thousands of roles that can become options for the right employee.

      Cons

      Culture is a problem, and it is a problem that isn't being addressed. The company has an employee turnover problem and as long as the company is growing, it isn't taking the problem seriously. The culture is most aptly described as 'old-style Japanese management versus the modern worker.'

      Good business opportunities and multicultural experience. However, too top-down.

      Pros

      Interesting business opportunities, growth, a lot of international exposure.

      Cons

      Not a solid HR structure - no proper feedback mechanism. Managers treat employees without respect. Highly unprofessional and rude. My entire team lives in fear of our manager. Lack of oversight and departments competing with one another without a cohesive goal. A CEO who is a micromanager, and unaware of the HR problems at his company.
