      Work you to the bones with no appreciation-stay away

      Program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - good solid company to have on your CV - an abundance of information ( just need to find out where to get it!) - some extremely bright people ( but lack any people skills)

      Cons

      - poor knowledge sharing - watch out for HR as they will say anything to you to get you in the company. Please don't trust them. I was told that they would help my partner get a job in Luxembourg and when I moved over they did nothing to help - senior management are extremely poor in relaying requirements and have no idea about appropriate work levels - hours are horrendous, I work from 830am till 9pm and sometimes need to take calls from Seattle at 1130pm - package is extremely poor compared to expenses in Luxembourg (please do all the maths before you move over) - performance reviews are ridiculous. Your rating is given to you without any discussion or feedback - asking questions is deemed to be seen as push back or not learning fast enough - attrition is extremely high for very obvious reasons - no team spirit
