Pros

Stable company. Great location and facilities.

Cons

Some groups are poorly managed. Significant number of employees, including some managers, appear to have grown up in a culture where speaking up your mind is perceived as a sign of disrespect, even if it is done constructively. If you do not mind being micro-managed and follow strict orders, this is the company for you. If you get stuck in badly managed team, it is nearly impossible to move to another team. The pay is on the lower end of the spectrum.

Pros

The company places a strong emphasis on continuous learning and professional growth, with clear encouragement for employees to develop their skills over time. There are frequent, fun company events that help build connections across teams and contribute to a genuinely friendly and collaborative culture. Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
