Pros

Great work environment with creative and good colleagues (depends on the part of the company you work with).

Lots of opportunities to attend events where you can expand your network and learn about technologies and what other companies in your area are working on.

Flexible work arrangements.

A large company with a lot of people of different backgrounds working in it, creates a diverse and exciting environment to work.

Cons
  • Below average pay for software engineers.
  • A culture around offshore work for software engineers, which means people on-site (in Europe, at least) seem to be more expected to be "leaders" and "businesspeople" rather than good at software. (This is promoted by some people at the company, not everyone).
  • Staffing on projects is not always done well. As an employee, you sometimes feel strongly advised to take projects that you clearly are not excited about.
Advice to Management

Create a more clear career track for software engineers. They shouldn't be grouped with the rest of technology consultants, as the required skills are generally much higher and demanding.
