Pros

The benefits were very good including a pension. There was a lot of international travel to Amsterdam. The US headquarters is located in midtown Manhattan, NYC!

Cons

It was very corporate and stuffy, seemingly superficial at times. To save a buck, customer Service for online products was moved to India leaving many people in NYC unemployed.

Pros

The environment and culture are terrific. Friendly, smart,caring, creative, and ambitious people. Community service and fund-raising events for non-profits is encouraged. Benefits are wonderful.

Cons

Not enough investment in training, facilities, human resources. Little to no advancement opportunity. Focus on the bottom line is extreme. I.T. infrastructure is severely lacking as is critical business software.
