Pros

Excellent community of colleagues. Supportive culture. Plenty of opportunity for those prepared to work hard and be flexible about where the company wants to place you.

Cons

High alignment culture means that things can move very slowly. IT & Technical systems are old and high control which makes it difficult to keep pace with outside world. Salary and benefit programs are very rigid. Work by rule rather than guiding principles and logic, eg terrible vacation policy which management recognizes but won't change.

Pros

A lot of opportunity for those who want to explore executive opportunities overseas. If they like you, it's the kind of place you can spend your entire career.

Cons

The US company is not a fun place. Most of the opportunities are overseas. Still very much an old boys club.
