The company offered good medical benefit, the pay is above market pay. It's has employees from 40 different countries and there's an opportunity to work abroad. There's allowance for those working in Geomarket timezone. Due to high turn over, there's high chances to get promoted.

Cons

Be prepare to work long hours and sleepless night. Too much work load for 1 person and the work process is very manual. Some departments or teams have strong office politics and discrimination.High turnover.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
