Pros

Truly international company, you work with nice people all around the world and you will work with great people with top education. We can do it attitude. Your colleague are more your friends not just coworkers. Company invests to the people grow, trainings, etc and counts its people as a main value. When something goes wrong company will help you, very good package for sick leave, additional holidays, and benefits. Career opportunities are broad; you can change a job inside the company or be relocated to another part of world.

Cons

When hired on junior position you will stuck in development program for 3 years which blocks you from fast growing. Until you get mobile status the salary is not the best one. Work will become a strong part of your time, it is not a 9-5 type of job (this could be a problem for somebody, in my case I like this way)
