Pros

One of the biggest software companies in the world. It gives people the opportunity to work in almost any area, offering great career development opportunities.

Cons

The company is undergoing a big crisis now. It adopted too much of a defensive mode to reduce costs and short term investment plans to increase sales, not paying much attention to future technology evolution. Decision makers are 100% business oriented, while technology and R&D is taking a secondary role, not in charge of any decisions. Do not expect management or business people to understand technology at all, and do not expect a brilliant career if you are a technical expert. A huge mistake for a technology company that forgot about its roots.

Pros

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Cons

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.
