Pros

Money Health care & pension Free Cycling changing rooms with showers. Lots of other offices making internal rotations easy. WFH options.

Cons

No work life balance. Extremely long hours and far too much overtime. Working with far too many stupid people. Really bad hiring processes. Contractors hired because they are easy to fire while waiting to find the right person. Extremely poor senior management that have no idea. Being treated like a number not a person. No exit survey because it will all be negative. No way to provide feedback which just causes the same problems to keep happening with no change.

Pros

- Opportunity for Mobility and career growth, cross functional collaboration, global organization - Amazing mentors, colleagues and collaborative mindset - Volunteer Culture

Cons

- Mobility can be challenging w/o a sponsor. - Depending on departments, fast moving and may impact work-life balance. - depending on the team, you might encounter micromanagers or teams that may be selective with mobility. Though inevitable in some instances, if you are aware of team dynamics and team culture, employee could mitigate or manage/avoid this risk.
