Pros

Everything. WFH/Hybrid. Great offices. Great pay, benefits and support.

Cons

It can feel a little lonely at times. My current line doesn't give a lot of feedback, but it could be that I'm too new. Can be cumbersome to find your fit, but give it time and ask around. In a company of 36,000+ employees, in 70 countries with countless projects in different sectors, you'll find something.
