Pros

International group of colleagues, large and well-known organisation, staff benefits, opportunity to work with some amazingly intelligent people (some).

Cons

Not dynamic or fast-paced enough for many young people, climbing the ladder is a slow process that will involve lots of networking, many people are not suitable for roles/responsibilities.

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
