Pros

The products the company makes have the potential to positively impact people across the globe. Some room for mobility both physically (many offices around the world) and career-wise.

Cons

A major lack of resources and a fixation on cutting costs and improving productivity has resulted in an overworked and under-supplied environment. Definitely an old-school company that still thinks spreadsheets can be used for everything.

Pros

Good travel opportunities, lots of equipment to play with

Cons

Management too short term focused - felt that anyone who stays in one place more than 5 years is an idiot. Not enough scientists in charge.
