Pros

people, interesting work and client base

Cons

Lack of recognition, long working hours, micro-management. Low pay with no real benefits and no pay rise over a year, which is basically a pay cut considering the current economic context. Bonuses are non-existent due to financial challenges, yet they keep having the same excuse for many years despite high profit margins. They keep postponing promotions, yet they have been promoting people in the down low, which screams lack of transparency and ethics. They expect you to go beyond your tasks, yet no recognition or promotion in sight (unless you are cliquey with the senior management), with a mediocre pay and long hours. Only good side is building your resume but don't last here too long. Very cliquey, obvious favouritism from management to the team. They keep complaining about the high turnover rates but do nothing about it. They hire managers not for their expertise, but to bring money, so you end up working for a manager who is incompetent and has no knowledge of the actual practice, only know how to sell work. All talk and no action.

Pros

Holidays/insurance scheme are significantly above the country's average. I was lucky enough to have a line manager that was actually interested in my professional development. But this was the exception, rather than the norm. Great company to get an understanding of the impact of security/political/regulatory risks on different sectors and industries.

Cons

Although the salary was OK for Mexican standards, It could have been significantly higher. A lot of great employees seek opportunities elsewhere as the company doesn't make enough effort to retain valuable employees.
