A good start off point for your career, but leave before it makes you hard.
Pros: Young, motivated people who are very career oriented would get on well here.

 The facilities are overall very good and there are regular social events designed to encourage integration between staff members of different departments.  Managment takes on a 'best practice' approach to leadership and there is a focus on developing a shared vision between offices and countries.
Cons: Very rigid, top down structure. Very Formal responsibilities.  High turnover rate. 

 Professionalism characterises all intra-office relationships.  The culture does not encourage individuality, but rather provokes homogeniety.  There is a strong sense that worth within the office is linked to performance and other status indicators.  This may lead to competitiveness and productivity increases but I find it to be a cold and dispassionate way of dealing with people.
