Pros

Many people whine about the processes and overhead required to get things done. In actuality, the processes work if you take 5 minutes to learn them and adapt them to your needs. Benefits and days off are very good. The official, global corporate language is American English, which is very convenient for North American employees.

Cons

Finding the proper contacts within the company can be daunting to impossible. The Broadband Access product vision is short-sighted and based on ego rather than market-winning solutions. As with many very large companies, the decision making process can get gummed up with too many committees and can too easily be blocked by those with a contrary agenda.

Pros

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Cons

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.
