Pros

good people to work with and very interesting product that was produced, was able to work as many hrs as needed and overtime was a plus.

Cons

upper management only cared for themselves, very hard to move up as they would choose to hire from outside than within

Pros

International and multicultural environment, and a large company with now over 90'000 employees, with presence in quite many countries around the world, allowing for a multitude of opportunities to develop ones career.

Cons

Team building events are missing in the HQ, where some people working on one wing would not have met other colleagues on the other side of the office, in spite of having worked for the same company and in the same physical location for years.
