Pros

The only thing I can think of is the bicycle garage. However, it took my 3 months to get access. My hiring manager was great but he quit a month later because he realized how hopeless the situation was.

Cons

Everything. It is a sweat shop. Regardless of the performance of individuals, they get moved to other teams and/or fired as necessary to meet whatever misguided agenda management has. The good managers are few and far between and they never stay long. Management does not understand how to run this company. I was hired for one position which ended up staying at another branch in another country. I was then shuffled between 3 other positions for several months. Nobody seems to know what they are doing and "training" consists of sitting with another colleague for an hour or getting team-wide emails blasted out screaming not to do something a poor schmuck did before. While I was there, I put up with sexist and abusive leads and managers that caused at least one woman to quit. You're expected to work with sub-par equipment which never gets updated and tools which are not adapted to the task. We alternated between having rotten managers and no manager at times.

Pros

Good work-life balance compared to many consulting companies. Stable environment and structured processes.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to large corporate structure. Salary growth may feel slower than at startups or U.S.-based tech companies.
