Pros

Pioneering and class-leading products and technologies Accomplished and knowledgeable peers Excellent learning opportunities and employee engagement Great culture with serious focus on work-life balance and employee well-being Serious about making a meaningful difference globally

Cons

No hand-holding and micro-management. You need to be a self-starter and get your work done. Big co. with tons of communities, initiatives and activities to participate in and benefit from. Left to individuals to strike a balance between work related responsibilities, while also making the best use of these opportunities.
