Pros

It offers good salary and benefits when compared to other companies in the region. Also, there's a strong investment in assisting employees in their careers (career resource center, educational assistance program, equivalent salaries for all areas, which means you can grow in your area).

There are several employee development programs, such as:

  • Free language courses
  • Online trainings with more than 1,000 courses
  • Access to thousands of online books, and so on.
Cons

The annual performance evaluation for individual contributors is associated with promotions and salary reviews, which means sometimes people may be underrated in their performance review only because there's no budget for promotions or salary increases. This can be very demotivating.

Another point is that there are too many segments, and most projects have several segments working together. This can be very stressful and confusing due to the difference in processes in each segment.

There's no support for those who need to relocate.

People usually get workaholic there and working 12 hours a day plus weekends becomes a habit. So, work/life balance becomes complicated. Usually, people deal with that by drinking a lot of coffee. :)
