Heavenly place? It depends..
Pros: Sheer size of the company gives you the opportunity to meet people from different parts of business and industries. Lots of training, both on-site, off-site and on-line. Looks good on your CV. Subsidised coffee and cantine!
Cons: Your employment status makes a big difference not only in your remuneration and benefits, but first and foremost in the way you are being treated by your peers. If you are employed by one of the staffing agencies, you are very often looked down at and considered a second class citizen.
