A place to grow
Pros: Benefits are balanced, Salaries are good specially for Sales professions, the best company I have worked in with room for growth & flexibility in moving to different roles. A lot to learn & diversity of disciplines protect you from boredom.
Achievers are well rewarded & recognized.
Very good work environment
Cons: Outside the US, most of the focus, benefits & rewards are for Sales. The company direction is sales focused rather than marketing or services focused. 
Too much pressure & stress in some areas.
Work load is not normally distributed among roles & disciplines & accordingly, the pay is not proportional to the effort 
 No room for below average performers, usually fired.
Internal politics plays a significant role but differs from one region to another
