Pros

The people are in general quite nice. The company sells nice products.

Cons

It's a dinosaur company with too many old people, it lacks youth and youthful energy. This is very apparent in the rigid management style and endless red tape and bureaucracy. They say all the current and hip things, but it's painfully obvious none of it can be fully realized. This company can be compared to a mega tanker, it's not flexible, quick, flashy or modern. It floats and it moves and that is about the same for the vision and strategy. This attitude does nothing for motivation or innovation.

Pros

Everyone is genuinely nice and cares about their jobs. Nice offices, and big corporate backing. Can't really say that the experience was negative but for high acheivers/ ambitious people probably not what you're looking for.

Cons

A ton of bueracracy, there are some many layers of approval that even the simplest things take months to get done. They never take any risks and ideas are very top down. Slow career progression and mediocre salary. Only way to progress is to hope someone in the same position retires or leaves.
