Microsoft (Russia and EMEA)
Pros: Good benefits package, official salary and benefits.
Cons: Non-transparent performance assessment system, really depends on the subjective opinion of manager. No clear link between your performance and the bonus (for non-sales employees). Over pushing for a career development - nobody cares that you really like job you are doing and want to grow in your role - you have to move and that's all. The target for Good Attrition for managers - every manager must fire and replace 5% of the team every year. Often people are ranking not for the results they achieved but for activities they drove (even if these activities haven't led to a business growth or success).
