Pros

It has a really good office and facility. For example, they offer free meals. The environment is very international, and you can easily find a friend. However, there's no work-life balance.

Cons

Some departments are running micro-management, and they're really, really bad, even though it's an international environment.

There are a lot of rules, and some people use them badly without a good purpose.
