Pros

You could be creating and integrating the most advanced technologies available nowadays, In the long run, you feel like you are contributing to the general quality of living worldwide and that you are improving the way business is done. Offers great opportunities for work-life balance.

Cons

The company is too process oriented, with a lot of red tape. Compensation levels heavily favor experience with the company, rather than performance. Depending on the office, average age might be quite high.

Pros

Professional growth opportunities. Global experience. Global collaboration. Highly skilled and smart people to work with. Great exposure to latest technologies. Great flexibility in work and life balance.

Cons

Lack of small tangible incentives for good work. It doesn't need to be always a cash bonus or something like that .. anything small but tangible to recognize your good work. For example: a night on town with family etc.
