Pros

Mature organization with established processe and procedures, a benchmark for the industry. A lot can be learned and carried cross-industry when it comes to structure and technical knowledge .

Cons

The last few years have felt unstable with the many divestments, spin-offs, and acquisitions. This has created some ambiguity and a bit of a mess when it comes to approvals and smoothness of doing day to day work

Pros

Great Company, good culture and balance of work and social life. A lot can be learnt depending on the field and office you're stationed.

Cons

Information given at the interview is too generalised and may not fully reflect the role you're heading into without asking a lot of questions.
