Pros

It is large - so it is similar to working in multiple companies over a career.

Cons

Salary doesn't equate with responsibilities or performance except at the highest levels

Pros

Learn a lot about the agile development process. Also, get to work on real projects that will see the light of day.

Cons

Can get boring sometimes. Often times being an intern at a large company like this, you can only begin to understand the software projects before your internship is over.

Pros

Smart and friendly people, delivering great results. No idea is a bad idea. Motto was: 'great, take it and run with it!'. Culture of innovation. Fantastic if one is self-motivated, self-directed.

Cons

Lack of work/life balance. Senior management consistently worked weekends, which pressured the supporting team environment to follow suit. Tough to stay on project delivery schedule when the rest of your team in EMEA is on holiday for 6 weeks.
