Pros

Very good pay and benefits; good products and technologies; it is possible to have a good job and personal life balance.

Cons

Too much of a bureaucracy! You cannot do your job yourself as you need to follow the process all the time and before you send anything outside the company, it must be approved by the VP of the group, you just feel like a robot filling in spreadsheets and waiting around for management approvals ... you do not feel like you are a part of a team, as there is no team actually in once place as usually departments are located in different countries and even continents! Lack of human aspect as most of task is done via email and conference calls; not good internal communication

Pros

Once you establish yourself, they give you almost total freedom to pursue your own goals and projects, all on company's time. Oversight is at minimum and bosses are not pushy. Management is very relaxed and easy going, you can have access to anybody you want.

Cons

Only attendance is mandatory, work is optional. If you're not motivated you'll die of boredom. Managers are mediocre at best and promotions are based solely on who you know.
