Pros

Cool, exciting culture Discounts on gear Lots of opportunity

Cons

This place is great for singles without children, since you spend most of your time working at the senior level. Lots of night and weekend work to keep up with everything. High expectations and pressure to attend all company events, even those taking place after work hours. If you work here, you need to drink the kool-aid completely, or you will not be happy. They make you feel like you should feel blessed to work for this "iconic" company. If it's "just a job" for you, don't bother. Pay is not that great for the work they expect.

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.
