Pros

- Big name - Big brand - Okish salary -Supportive immediate managers

Cons

- Managing director who is global head has no knowledge on reporting - For whole cybersecurity there is only one fellow who is managing reports of whole cyber - Misbehaving global head making fake claims of being friendly and good leader. - They stab voices and shout out that we have speak up forums. - Any how they will prove their point and discrimination between different GCB levels. - I still remember the word “You lack common-sense” from the great fellow. - toxis work culture. - A direct reporting manager of this managing director ran away after resign without any handovers so you can imagine the frustration of that employee. - They keep on boasting about themselves and never deliver best to their clients nor to their employees. - Don’t join cyber team at all.
