Pros

- Potential for good growth, as long as you work for the right people, management, mentors - Work/life balance can be okay (however, post-covid, this has changed trending downwards in some cases) - Good compensation packages for new employees hired from big4 or competitors

Cons

- Company politics/red tape - Culture is currently lacking - Internal promotion does not come with market comparable pay rises (unless turnover is increasing, and they need to increase/help retention) - Expenses always tightening across the board - GHR department is out of touch, and non-existence for employee assistance - Some nepotism is alive and well - Lack of succession planning - Performance review process is forced-bell-curve based to drive expense cutting - A 'global' company that is primarily US-centric in matters than have global impact
