Business outlook
Pros
Very good benefits in terms of vacation and 401K, but health benefit was considerably downgraded this year. It very rarely lays off workers. It is a "pro" for people who are looking for an easy place to make an easy salary and do not want to worry too much about being fired.
Cons
Lack of excitement, lots of office politics and bureaucracies. Very poor office admin support staff. It is a nightmare to book a conf room, get a laptop for traveling, report a system access issue, etc. I guess part of the problem can be attributed to its pure large size. However it is explained, it is just painful. People from UK office are given more opportunities than others, which is demoralizing to US workers.
