Pros

Great opportunity to learn and pursue skill development(incl. well established educational and e-learning oportunities); Global company(with many locations all over); Good awareness of virtual teams, cross-division and cross-culture collaboration. As a global company that sells all over and is not only focuses on a single market/region, great potential to do fine over time and not be dependent on the economy ups and downs in a single region. There are various innovative venues for employees to show their ideas and collaborate with others- incl. Blue Opportunity and BizTeck projects which enable you to take some of your weekly time and work on a cool project with a team other than your regular job' team.

Cons

Too big of a company to get noticed or to find who works on what and who to talk to.

Pros

The rang of opportunities is very high. A lot of very talented people work here. While not always easy to find, there are projects that are on the bleeding edge of technology.

Cons

High barrier to ship projects; a lot of non-functional requirements to keep in mind (globalization, accessibility, etc.) that detract from interesting work. Hard to be promoted if in a top-heavy organization with a lot of senior engineers.
