Pros

It is a good company for someone who want to get an experience on a big company for a couple of years or as a beginner on the industry. A good training program for beginners

Cons

Use to be appreciated for the high technical knowledge of the employees but currently it is more based on P&L which lead to have managers without any technical knowledge and just interested in cost control. People is not one of their values anymore as employees are very often removed from roles to be relocated in short period of times in the best case scenario or simple left out of the company The work environment is way to inestable

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
