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.
