Pros

Strong work–life balance with flexibility for global collaboration. Competitive overall package, including salary and benefits. Presence of some truly inspirational leaders who elevate the bar.

Cons

Currently weak or even slightly toxic culture in some areas. Constant reorganizations and lay‑offs that create uncertainty and stress. Lack of clear, stable priorities, leading to frequent shifts in focus. Operating model is not well defined, which slows decisions and execution.
