Pros

Very impactful to global software and impacting everyone in the world in software that you've made and design and sell. It really allows you to do your great work if you are ambitious and if you are creative. Also, it is not limited to doing the traditional test work that testers are supposed to do. You are only limited by your imagination.

Cons

Large company is complex and you need to navigate your way through. You are only limited by your imagination. It really takes time to build trust and establish credential. It may take some time and effort for multiple people to appreciate your work. So you need to be self motivated. If not, you may not make it. You need to believe in yourself at times.

Pros

Great benefits, competitive pay, wide range of opportunities

Cons

Need to make sure your work stays visible to get ahead, but that seems intuitive for any company. If people don't know what you're working on, is it having an impact? Is it worth your time?
