Great company not for everyone

Pros

* Globally recognized brand. * Fast paced environment (might be cons, depends) I like it. * Colleagues often smarter and more hardworking than the rest of the job market.

Cons

* Salaries are not bad but Promotion options are somehow limited, management is rather monitoring headcounts than the real outcome. * Usually you need to wait until your often better paid and less working colleague leave just to take the promotion which may take many years.
