Extreme politics

Pros

Stable company, average salary, great opportunities to continue career abroad.

Cons

The outcome of your employment is only based on the team/department you join. There are extreme political games within the company. Even they happen mostly on higher level, your job can be easily affected by this (e.g.HR as a support function is involved very much). If you join a stable team, have a good manager, you are lucky and can even plan a great career. Of course you need to be well-connected as well, but that goes for all multinational companies. Self-branding is a must to succeed.

Good people, bad management

Pros

Work/life balance is good here. Lots of amazing scientists and engineers. It's a shame they're not being recognized for their exceptional work and potential. People are trickling out, as they should in an atmosphere that doesn't propel you in a positive direction.

Cons

They're no longer converting contingent staff. The culture there is dissipating. No longer innovative. Products are subpar and being pushed into the market with low quality. Company doesn't care about you and it shows. One word I would use to describe the company is 'uninspired.'

Pros

Good benefits, great location, important product.

Cons

High pressure, management blames employees for poor decision making, management believes that they can get perfect products if only they could create more documents.
