Pros

The offer includes a good salary for the market. There is a possibility to work with very high-end technologies. You can have a long career in the company if you survive the managers scrutiny.

Cons

Full of arrogant mid-managers that never opened a design in life. Your experience really depends on your manager, and not all of them follow the HR recommendations, mainly the older ones.

Many departments operate in silos.

If you had a problem with your manager, you're screwed because that goes to your profile and it will reflect on your whole working life in the company.

Every 5 years they purge the system and promote massive layoffs. In 2018, 200 people were "invited" to leave the company.

The company has massively changed since SoftBank takeover, mostly for bad.

Advice to Management

When you do layoffs, leave the employees at least say good by to the work colleagues, not be escorted out by security returning immediately your badge.
