Pros

Truly international company, you work with nice people all around the world and you will work with great people with top education. We can do it attitude. Your colleague are more your friends not just coworkers. Company invests to the people grow, trainings, etc and counts its people as a main value. When something goes wrong company will help you, very good package for sick leave, additional holidays, and benefits. Career opportunities are broad; you can change a job inside the company or be relocated to another part of world.

Cons

When hired on junior position you will stuck in development program for 3 years which blocks you from fast growing. Until you get mobile status the salary is not the best one. Work will become a strong part of your time, it is not a 9-5 type of job (this could be a problem for somebody, in my case I like this way)

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
