Pros

Average salary, global company. Benefits and 401K. Generally hires people of average experience level, so if one is a talented professional, it is easy to get ahead.

Cons

Company is an amalgamation of various poorly-connected business units, some of which have dubious future and profitability. The company is Finnish, which means squishy sense of leadership and direction. Scandinavians prefer to have roundtable talks, with little in the way of decisions. The company also has a substantive German element, which is not happy to be subservient to anyone else on earth, and delights in telling other global business units how to do things. The American HQ in Atlanta (depending on which business unit one asks) goes through cycles of centralization and decentralization, but that is company-wide. For example, centralized shared services centers were built in Barcelona and Holland to handle all Euro business, but just two years later closed down and laid off everyone so a new central hub could be built in Poland with cheaper labor.
