Pros

Credible international brand Good work-life balance Safe location of offices Diverse and collaborative working environment WiFi friendly Flexible working hours

Cons

Limited research coverage in Africa Products are priced in US$ and not ZAR (fluctuating exchange rates create challenges) Sales managers are inflexible, autocratic and often micro manage staff Open plan layout is noisy and disruptive when calling prospects Company benefits are not standardized i.e. maternity benefits in London vs Cape Town Sales salaries should be standardized as we're doing the same job in a challenging economy Limited parking is a big problem (rotation plans would be a more fair approach)
