Great place to learn - lot of waste because of blind compliance
Pros: It's a brilliant opportunity to learn how multinationals might work. You will probably meet a lot of brilliant people here as well with great ideas. Management can sometimes be very engaging, and willing to put a lot of effort for getting things done. Very good access to lot of software technology, although sometimes a bit outdated.
Cons: This is a bit contradictive assessment as the learning opportunities are great, but still the learning is very hard to put in practice. Growing your portfolio of learning, or your cv is under the stone. Lot of waste because the management doesn't sometimes know what they are trying to gain, and most importantly how to get there. For a company famous for so much of automation, it sometimes hurts your soul to see where it is used. Some of the own software has terrible ways of working, and instead of improving them, they are enforced to be used for more, and more things.
