Pros

Salaries aren't bad for europe. They are terrible compared to the states.

Cons

The place is overall pretty bad. Teams get shut down suddenly without any warning. Teams find out they are shut down from news articles before they are told by their management. Middle mgt is political and obsessed with creating their own kingdom in the company. The performance and promotion process is nebulous and opaque, and mostly relies on constantly tooting your own horn to senior people. Management has no idea what innovation really means, and make it impossible for me teams to really get anything done coz teams are constantly held accountable to 'impact' which is impossible in the time span of a quarter for new and innovative products. Leadership just constantly repeats tired industry tropes that competitors came up with ages ago, as if they are totally new and nobody will realise they're just the same old thing. Yes this is ranty. And its all true. Ask anyone anonymously and you'll get the raw truth.
