Pros

Leave policy is generous including annual leave of 30 days per year. Maternity and paternity policies that are very good compared to most US employers. Expatriate benefits, especially education grant is good though unlike private companies the employee has to pay a minimum of 25%.

Cons

Not dynamic. Job can get routine and the administrative support is bloated. Limited career mobility means that one can get stuck after one or 2 promotions.

Pros

Great multicultural environment with people from all over the world, which creates a very enriching and inclusive atmosphere. Everyone is punctual and colleagues are very chill and easy to work with. The diversity of backgrounds makes collaboration genuinely enjoyable.

Cons

Very resistant to change and innovation. The organization tends to stick to old processes and is reluctant to adopt new technologies or modern approaches. Progress and improvements move extremely slowly, which can be frustrating for those looking to make an impact. its also unpaid which sucks
