Pros

Great opportunity to learn and pursue skill development (including well-established educational and e-learning opportunities).

Global company (with many locations all over).

Good awareness of virtual teams, cross-division, and cross-culture collaboration.

As a global company that sells all over and is not only focused on a single market/region, there's great potential to do well over time and not be dependent on the economic ups and downs in a single region.

There are various innovative avenues for employees to show their ideas and collaborate with others, including Blue Opportunity and BizTeck projects, which enable you to take some of your weekly time and work on a cool project with a team other than your regular team.

Cons

Too big of a company to get noticed or to find who works on what and who to talk to.

Advice to Management

Be more aggressive and competitive to keep our great talent in the company. Pursue similar innovation venues such as TAP and SEA in order to tap into our employees' outstanding ideas.
