Pros

- compensation - home office possible - multicultural

Cons

- six rounds as a job interview and you end in completely different position than you were hired for - after so precise interview process you end up with the boss who doesn't know what is going on - bureaucracy - mess - no vision - over restricted - team spirit - you have to be naive to expect something like that - promotion process (assessment) - real work isn't only what matters
