Pros

Good benefits package, competitive pay, and opportunity for alternative work arrangements. As with most large companies there are some very good managers and some not so good managers, you need to make a judgement based on the particular area you will be working in.

Cons

Very risk averse culture. Behind the industry in terms of technology being used. At times office politics can overpower the task at hand. The IT staff based in the US has been shrinking steadily since 2001.

Pros

Solid benefits package, manageable workload. Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.

Cons

The company undergoes frequent restructuring, and technical leadership often lacks the depth needed to guide modern engineering decisions. The culture can feel rooted in an older, more traditional mindset, and promising initiatives frequently get stuck in POC hell rather than reaching production. Career progression is also very manager-dependent; the wrong reporting relationship can significantly stall your growth. Overall technical bar is low — if you're trying to sharpen your skills, this environment may hold you back rather than push you forward.
