Pros

Good salary, especially for a company based in Durban; Highly skilled individuals, with a drive to succeed; Lots of good people, with solid values; Very laid back environment (appeared) with a games room, gym, cafeteria, etc...

Cons

The higher the salary, the bigger the EGO! You had to sell your soul to the devil to continue your growth path at the company; Senior management did not like to be challenged; Some of the Senior managers were in posts that they did not deserve - but was merely part of their career progression; A very stressful working environment, where you are EXPECTED to work long hours and weekends; Turned out to be a very greedy and self absorbed culture.

Pros

The system is pretty massive and supports products in many markets, so there are plenty of opportunities for growth in almost any area. Also many brilliant people working here.

Cons

The company is global so working across time zones can be difficult.
