Pros

Great company perks and working environment. Lots of opportunities for internal mobility between teams and functions. Good in-house amenities - gym, coffee bars and canteen.

Cons

Change is continual and virtually the norm. Work-life balance could be better with long hours and heavy workloads. Travel opportunities are limited / virtually non-existent.
