- If you find a good team, you'll be able to work with very smart and result-driven people - Very flexible (working hours etc.)

Cons

- Unfortunately, there are some weaker teams as well, with some folks that should have never been hired to this company :) - Non-unified tools and infrastructure across divisions (but that's changing, fortunately!)
