Pros

* Interesting job with challenges * Flexible hours * Well known name for CV * Good culture with smart colleagues (engineering level only) * Great package * Great office (even though rather empty post-covid)

Cons

* Flexible hours (easy to work overtime on evenings or weekend if you don't put your limits) * Execs are useless and don't really know the product * Entire divisions can be scrapped at any time * Slow reaction to market with too much inertia * Periodic reorg with big layoff (multiple per year)
