Pros

International exposure, largest firm in its field, great name on your CV

Cons

Toxic working environment and no growth opportunities (at least in Germany), improvised operations, rudimentary digital systems (basically excel) and all in all an air of heavy politics and stress: no free communication or innovation. People are afraid of each other and hide themselves behind masks.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
