Pros

Work from home to employees outside the office location/city. This makes work-life balance easy most times.

Cons

Frequent layoffs followed by "reorgs and restructuring", leadership changes in every 2 years followed by vision and strategy change. No solid direction, No fair compensation, lost the once-dreamy culture as the people who nurtured it left or were laid off, increments next to none. Just a matter of time till you make it to the yearly retrenchment list.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits, decent work/life balance (depends on your role), established and well regarded products.

Cons

They hire excellent people on the ground, but DEI hires in C-suite managmeent are bad. Toxic, narcissistic "leaders" are promoted based on gender instead of aptitude, and cancerous individuals are slow to be removed because of the emphasis on DEI. Yara used to be and could be a great place to work again, but they need to get rid of the problem people to get there.
