Pros

- Strong brand reputation that attracts talented colleagues and global projects - Pleasant work environment with professional and friendly coworkers - Attractive compensation package compared to local market standards

Cons

- Long and slow hiring process, with several months between application and start date - Significant budget and priority changes occurred after my arrival - Project pipeline had largely collapsed by the time I joined, leaving limited meaningful work - My role was ended on the last day of probation without prior feedback or warning, which appeared to be an easy exit during restructuring - Candidates should be aware that roles may shift quickly; only join if you can take this level of risk and have a strong safety net

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
