Pros

It's a good place to work as people are generally friendly and helpful.

Cons

Lack of career progression unless you're one of the "select few" or from Grad programmes or SuperStar employee. The company tends to look after their own first, creating roles for people to keep them rather than roles that are really required. It is one of the few MNCs that I have worked with that had more Directors than employees......many Directors that have the title but no direct reporting lines......it's waste of $$$$$
