Pros

1. Very (advanced) technical centric environment if you belong to a real R&D team (not AE/FAE) 2. In general high competence co-workers & polite mid-level Managers 3. Once decent pay (but declining...) 4. In general resourceful to help you complete your work

Cons

1. Declining rate of compensation is a too significant & can't see any plan (even excuse) from high managerment... 2. Differences (compensation, focal review...) between BU are huge and... opaque. 3. More and more bureacucy when it is already a big company with 13xxx employees
