Pros

Only effective rewards system is the annual bonus.

Cons

System & rules are unclear for other rewards / promotions. Internal processes are messy & redundant; some don't even exist. Many redundant roles. No work-life balance. Unlimited meetings & presentations vs time to do actual work. Work from home setup is a trap, making you work longer hours without additional pay, Competitive managers grab credit from their team and pose it as their own. Training is only available to a select few.

Pros

At scale, the company has robust HR and finance systems. You can join a variety of activities. Work schedules and locations are flexible. Compensation is competitive, with strong bonus opportunities.

Cons

Disorganized and image-driven, with a focus on awards, taking credit, showy behavior, and ingratiation. Many leaders/managers lack technical expertise and favor manual policies over technological fixes, which creates heavy bureaucracy. Leadership practices are outdated and exhibit many harmful traits: large power gaps, HIPPO, special treatment for certain people, leaders who avoid accountability, condescending behavior, a culture of blame and public shaming, micromanagement, and inappropriate language in meetings — overall a very unhealthy work environment. The frenetic pace is largely self-imposed and stems from poor planning at the management level rather than industry demands.
