Pros

- Office - Location - Overall desire of company to make things better to employees - Good work/life balance (though it's about to change, see cons) - Very helpful for relocated employees

Cons

- Too much dependency on the main customer - Bureaucracy is enormous - Very weak hardware (working on VDI with so-so specs) - Very poor development process (planning, estimation, etc), sometimes makes you wonder how they managed to get thus far - Oh, and they won't allow you to work from home (very soon it won't be physically possible) - No bonuses, no salary growth (almost) - Very little motivation, feedback, goals etc. Just sit and do your work.

Pros

You get exposure to the very latest technology, and the company is implementing it in impactful, real-world ways. Even if you're not in a tech role, you naturally build deeper understanding in the latest technologies that you may never get exposure to at other companies. Truly global. Even for employees not in global roles, you still get good visibility into the company's global scale and impact.

Cons

Too much process around approvals which reduces speed of execution. Asked to step-up but then insufficient support provided. Two-faced behaviors of managers has become acceptable.
