Pros

- Solid company background - Very smart top management - Engineering skills are in the focus - You might find yourself in a five-star company if get assigned to a good project with good management

Cons

- Depending on the actual project you get assigned to, you might find yourself in a very different company than you were hired for - There is no clear (if at all) communication about: how to change project (without leaving the company/getting no salary raise for years/no promotions etc.) - Compensation policy is intentionally vague - Some people managers seriously lack the honesty and integrity to be good leaders, they are soldiers (sometimes working against their people's interests) - You might find yourself in a zero-star company if get assigned to a bad project with bad management

Pros

You get exposure to the very latest technology, and the company is implementing it in impactful, real-world ways. Even if you're not in a tech role, you naturally build deeper understanding in the latest technologies that you may never get exposure to at other companies. Truly global. Even for employees not in global roles, you still get good visibility into the company's global scale and impact.

Cons

Too much process around approvals which reduces speed of execution. Asked to step-up but then insufficient support provided. Two-faced behaviors of managers has become acceptable.
