Pros

Fair base pay Many opportunities, personal growth Company strongly promotes ethics and culture

Cons

Management and organizational structure is frequently changing through continuous transformation. If you are a person who doesn't take change well, this is not a company for you. A global player with very much US centric leadership model, which limits the decision making based on US reality and doesn't consider aspects of other regions.
