Pros

Great corporate culture and people - some amazing colleagues can be proficient employees and great and interesting people. You can always rely on support and advice, cross-team projects in my experience work out pretty well. Great perks: healthcare insurance, hobby benefits, PTO, teambuilding, education. The company lived through the last years without massive layoffs, which is a great moment in these turbulent times.

Cons

Not very generous on bonuses and compensations, especially if you are not in the spotlight. Sometimes some decisions may seem inconsistent.

Generally speaking, a very friendly environment.

Cons

1. Lots of meetings: but that is somewhat expected considering the company is distributed all over the world.
