      Pros

      You'll be involved in the development of an important and well known product. Good establishment. There's a chance that you'll be working on an international project, with people from many different countries.

      Cons

      Bureaucracy. Bureaucracy everywhere. From asking for a new mouse to buying a server, you'll face many obstacles along the way, and it'll always take looong time until you get what you need (if it ever happens). Terrible internal processes and tools for tasks and time tracking. Trello? Jira? Not in here! You don't get to work creating native code, but using only internal components of in-house frameworks. It's ok in the beginning of you career, but in the long run you won't actually learn anything new.

      Pros

      Great company with great work environment. Work quality of life is excellent. Good benefits and good vacation time.

      Cons

      Lots of change based on changing times. Your way of working will change somewhat at least every couple of years.

      Pros

      The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

      Cons

      Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
