Pros

Smart people and good vacation time (24 days) because it is a European-owned company

Cons

The COO of the group, as well as my direct manager, sent me an offer letter for 1 position, and 2 days after my arrival, I was told my title was different than the job I had applied to and accepted. My manager treated me like his secretary for the next 6 months, giving me unchallenging and yelling at me for mundane things. He had never managed anyone before, and it showed. I stayed long, long hours on Friday nights to launch products. I was doing work I could have done w/ 2 years' experience, even though I had 7. I spoke to several people about all these concerns, but no one listened. The entire company had a different dress code than our department did, so we had to wear suits every day. Awfully corporate and stingy. Also, layoffs were common and continue to be so.
