Pros

It is hiring a lot of trainees, giving them starting work experience. It depends on department you get into, some are terrible, some are great. Mine is not that good. People very rarely stay overtime (which is almost never paid), although on the other side i heard some departments work even over weekends. Atmosphere is casual, not very stressful, which makes it good for trainees.

Cons

Low motivation in general, salaries are low, no space for advancement. Managment is unprofessional and don't care about individuals as for the project. Another bad side is that as individual your work and effort will not be seen or appreciated. In the last year due to "recession" all team building days, kick offs, company day, and other similar event are cancelled, and there is very little chance you will get send to some additional training (certificates etc).

Pros

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Cons

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.
