Pros
-Great people, who care about their work and the people they work with. -Benefits and flexibility of company in adapting to work life balance and any special family needs that come up is top tier - If you want a guaranteed job for life where you can coast through with average of above average performance, this is the place for you - Sr management accessible if you rise to a certain level - office location in NY cannot be beat, right across from bryant park in midtown with great views
Kontras
-culture in US vs. international offices are incredibly different. Intl. offices are better in that they're more competitive, driving harder and moving faster - no explicit culture. little incentive for employees to socialize outside of work and little budget to do so even if there is - little explicit recognition for your work, so little incentive to outperform because only your direct manager will know but broader group may not - slow moving company - inward facing, doesn't look outside at competitors with respect to business or talent management.
