Pros

Good pay and benefits. Talented, conscientious coworkers. Excellent 401k matching. Opportunities to do really good work and help people with products.

Cons

Upper management provides little direction, changes strategy constantly without explanation, and holds the threat of layoffs over your head nearly all the time. It's a typical, large multinational corporation... reorganizations are a consistent reality. As a German company, hierarchy is important - this is not a flat organization or an empowering one.

Pros

I met some really great people there. I felt like I was truly a part of something bigger than myself. Loved the goal... health for all, hunger for none. I mentored some brilliant minds, and I am honored to have been there to support them.

Cons

If the team you're working with likes you, you're golden. If you do things a little differently but can still achieve good results, it will not be enough. Basically, fit in or they will find clever ways to get rid of you, like putting you in charge of a project that you have little-to-no experience working on, and then terminate you when things aren't 100% better.
