Pros

- good benefits (PTO, health insurance, pension plan, etc.) - international environment - Offers great opportunities for mobility --> ability to work in different countries - ability to work in different departments and gaining cross-functional and cross-divisional experiences - Pre-covid: one of the last companies that allows to fly business class if certain requirements are met

Cons

- politics, politics, politics - promotion of managers because of networking and politics but not because of skills or competencies - Work & life balance outside EU can be difficult at times - Very slow when it comes to taking decisions - Big company = heavy processes - not attractive for young talent as there is no real development path or room for growth (upwards)
