Pros

Good benefits.

Reasonable hours if you work smart and set limits.

Can work from home.

Friendly coworkers.

Good intranet with tons of information.

Cons

Lack of ambition amongst coworkers.

Many people are very comfortable with their jobs and set in their ways. Not a good place for a young and ambitious person.

Lack of excitement.

Offices are very plain. Cafeterias are closed after lunch.

Is English the language of business here? Sometimes I wonder.

Advice to Management

inspire some ambition and excitement.

Cut down on process and management overhead.
