Pros

Good employer globally however very gossipy and unprofessionalism at the site. Good pay but depends on the department and generally speaking good bonus'. Each work experience is different depending on the team but they tend to overwork people and since the company is global

Cons

If you have a global role, they expect you to keep up with Australia time which is from 5am to 10pm on a regular basis... Depends what you want, there is give and take.
