Great support but lacking in cultural practices
Pros: Support from the management (department or HR) is exemplary. There are channels for open conversation. Good structure for career progression. Standardized salary tier. Clear cut KPI evaluation via bi-annual performance evaluation. Guidance provided by seniors and managers, training provided by the firm, chance to take professional papers sponsored by the firm.
Cons: Salary increment is not compounded, it's a fixed amount by tier of position and performance rating. For the member firm I'm employed at, the enforcement of "English as business language" isn't fully practiced by the Partners, thus not supporting the firm's Lead By Example value. Some managers are obvious to be biased towards some of their favorite (for a lack of a better word) staff. Given the nature of the work, there's no work life balance for a period in the year. Bonus and health benefit coverage isn't that large as compared to most large commercial companies.
