Business outlook
Pros
Lots of very bright and enthusiastic people. Productivity is high, and people listen to good ideas. Benefits are good, and there is the opportunity to travel to Europe and the Far East. This is a place where the smartest can succeed, without necessarily being the loudest.
Cons
Can be a sweat shop at times. Frustrating dealing with so many outsourced departments. Getting information on likely salary progression is impossible. Despite work-life balance seminars, there is little sympathy for family events/sickness, and you are expected to check your Blackberry on weekends and during the evening. Can be a lot of pressure -- the work will be piled on until you shout No!
