Pros

Wide range of services Company benefits Global Encourages everyone to use English Pros totally depend on what team you're assigned to.

Cons

Too many organization changes. Management cannot make up their mind. They test out different things on their employees, not thinking about the impact. Expect at least two organization changes per year.

Different processes for each team. Expect to use two or three different tools that do the exact same thing. Changing teams will also introduce new tools that only that team uses.

Usually, your manager doesn't even know you, which is a major cause of demotivated employees.
