Pros

Strong brand reputation with impressive products and cutting-edge technology. Good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale, complex projects. Competitive compensation and benefits compared to industry standards. Talented and knowledgeable individuals across engineering and operations. Global environment that looks good on a CV

Cons

Management can be highly micromanaging, limiting autonomy and slowing decision-making. Lack of trust in employees’ expertise can reduce morale and innovation. Internal competition is noticeable, with some coworkers more focused on protecting or overtaking roles than collaborating. Communication between teams can be unclear or inconsistent. Career progression can feel political rather than performance-driven.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
