Pros

Good medical benefits. Pay is not fantastic but ok. Leave is one of the least for a senior position. Not a lot of good things to say.

Cons

Extremely disorganised at local and global management level which makes it difficult for senior director to manage the business and team. Within the organisation there is a lack of collaboration and extremely political. Pay is not fantastic. No work life balance. lack of trust and respect for peers. Very hierarchical. No guidance for new joiners. If you are joining as a new comer my advice is think twice!
