Pros

* Globally recognized brand. * Fast paced environment (might be cons, depends) I like it. * Colleagues often smarter and more hardworking than the rest of the job market.

Cons

* Salaries are not bad but Promotion options are somehow limited, management is rather monitoring headcounts than the real outcome. * Usually you need to wait until your often better paid and less working colleague leave just to take the promotion which may take many years.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
