Pros

You can alway get a job here, no skills needed.. You do not have to be very committed.

Cons

If your are commmitted, they will burn you down. Salery are shitty. Bonuses are truely just 'pretend' to be as the are unreal objectives, as you have no access to figures and thus no way of checking if target is met and bonus should be pay'ed. (Often you miss some unmeasureble target and loose you bonus for no reason in your control)

It's exciting working for the world-wide devices leader, Connecting people

Business Outlook

Pros

With half a billion devices sold per year, there is no other job where you have more of a chance to change humanity. That's exciting! The benefits and company values are very good, and compensation seems quite competitive compared to the rest of the industry.

Cons

Large, European company is sometimes frustratingly slow to change. This is not a start-up, and there is some bureaucracy to navigate in order to be a successful player.
