Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Confirmed

Limited to administrative growth opportunities
Pros: Flexible work schedule, casual work environment, (with management support) it is easy to get involved in volunteering and community outreach initiatives, strong brand, mentoring placement
Cons: Very top-down management style, and low and mid-level management are unwilling to try new approaches (no matter how logically sound the suggestion is, change is viewed as a liability). Focus is on investment in emerging markets, and the focus in mature markets is on cost reduction. Although salaries are decently competitive, bonuses are not. Career growth opportunities are primarily administrative-based or in management.
