Pros

The team that I belonged to was really awesome, full of great hard-working people from different countries that gave a multicultural background that you hardly can get anywhere else.

Cons

I was first hired as a contractor, and after two years of waiting for a full internal position, when it finally came, it implied around 40% less money in my pocket, at leas during the next two years. Internal politics played a huge roll in this process, because there was an initial eagerness to create the contractor position and it made the local manager oversee how much I was being payed, and then, when I was hired, it turned out to be out of range by a lot. Then, since it was impossible to go back to the contractor status and also there wasn't a chance to go above the pay range, I was pretty much bullied into accepting this new, inferior conditions without any perks or benefits for me or my family. The day I understood that I wasn't gonna win this one, I started looking for my next job, without second thought.

Pros

Great work life balance and culture. If you want to work at a place that will provide a low stress, flexible position with amazing people, this place is no doubt one of the best in that area.

Cons

Pay is low compared to other companies in the area and the cost of living in the area is high. They seem to be outsourcing jobs to cut costs, so job security is not the best right now.
