Pros
- Lots of benefits in every area; competitive compensation, endless learning resources' subscriptions, frequent company/team gatherings, extra days off, generous relocation packs for foreigners, commute and bike purchase allowance, ... - Well-documented company material; a complete knowledge base for employees explaining everything from benefits to promotion process, etc., internal courses for learning compliance rules, onboarding,... - Diversity; you won't feel left out, even if for some reason you're somehow minority in your direct team. There's lots of support and great company culture regarding diversity to let you feel included
Cons
- Your satisfaction in your immediate team is not predictable, it might be really shaky. Teams might be new and still developing their culture or a hard-to-work with kind of colleague might be in your team. But at the bright side it's a big company with infinite amount of small teams that you can aim for - If legacy tech is not your thing, you might suffer. You might need to use an old language or deal with codes that are super old and the owners changed several times and it's hard to solve a problem or find a root cause - Lots of internal dev tools are in use, they are not the most stable stuff out there. You may not have the most smooth dev experience all the time.

Pros
Good relocation package, big office, good work life balance, easy to join
Cons
Every change or future must be money-proof, meaning if you even want to migrate to modern tech stack you must proof that will bring money.
