Pros

Salary, coffee, air-conditioning, friendly coworkers.

Cons

Authoritarian leadership style. Hypocritical two-class society: Marketing department has all freedoms and decides based on whims, the other departments have no to say. Questioning processes is not allowed. Talented, longtime employees are fired after a sick leave. HR is not neutral and devoted to higher management. Staff is intimidated, frustrated and does not dare speaking up. Hard work is not appreciated, good performance ignored but mistakes are inflated. The only reason why people stay is because of the good salaries. Summary: If you like being a number, this is a great place to work. If you like to think, stay as long as you learn something and then leave.

Pros

I met some really great people there. I felt like I was truly a part of something bigger than myself. Loved the goal... health for all, hunger for none. I mentored some brilliant minds, and I am honored to have been there to support them.

Cons

If the team you're working with likes you, you're golden. If you do things a little differently but can still achieve good results, it will not be enough. Basically, fit in or they will find clever ways to get rid of you, like putting you in charge of a project that you have little-to-no experience working on, and then terminate you when things aren't 100% better.
