Pros

Full home office is supported. There are a lot of training opportunities and English courses. Depending on the project, you can find some pleasant and motivated team members, who usually support each other. The company can provide good experience for starters. Since English is crucial in every project, you can gain confidence in using English.

Cons

Salary increase depends on successful assessment or participating in non-project acitivites and not your performance or experience. Many colleagues are so much involved in non-project activities that they don't care for their actual project enough and they can't do anything effectively at all. I had the impression these people are more interested in building their career and sucking up to management than actually being productive at work. Management is often unavailable. When you try to point out issues, no one is looking where you are pointing at even if it would serve their interest as well, instead you will be considered negative. Management tend to be more interested in focusing on the customers than on the employees. Bureaucracy is excessive and processes are slow. Team building budget has decreased a lot over the years.

Pros

You get exposure to the very latest technology, and the company is implementing it in impactful, real-world ways. Even if you're not in a tech role, you naturally build deeper understanding in the latest technologies that you may never get exposure to at other companies. Truly global. Even for employees not in global roles, you still get good visibility into the company's global scale and impact.

Cons

Too much process around approvals which reduces speed of execution. Asked to step-up but then insufficient support provided. Two-faced behaviors of managers has become acceptable.
