Pros

Good Product but only for markets with very high cloud adoption.

Cons

Lies, false promises, horrible working conditions, horrible work-life balance, mobbing. You will get no support starting your role, and that will decrease your chances of being successful. There is no understanding or willingness for an understanding of regional differences. You will get measured, and observed like a guinea-pig. They check your calendar on a weekly bases rate you publicly every week based on KPI that were defined without any context or adjustments to your region. This is a nightmare and definitely not legal, but local entities without local subsidiaries working under umbrella companies, don't get checked for violations.
