Pros

Great perks for expats: Tax advice, relocation package, home trip allowance etc. Also a great gym at the premises, OK prices at the canteen, shareholder program.

Cons

An extremely messy company with too many managers and no leaders. Hierarchical with a huge administrative overhead, and no long term strategy that can be carried out. I am actually surprised the company earns any money at all! I work in a part of the organization that is supposed to work agile, but in reality the hierarchical structures remains, the product owners cannot deliver to their road-maps and certainly do not own their product, since upper management can always step in and change the priorities. Whereupon the POs are blamed for not delivering towards their road-maps! I actually consider the senior management a playground for kids with serious disabilities, more than professionals working in a world class company.
