Pros: Great offices all over the world. At the time, it was offering hybrid or remote options very generously.
There are very nice perks and benefits, from offices and food to third-party discounts on car purchases, rentals, and funds for health benefits, etc.
Cons: The tough environment at layoff times, where all managers and their teams are under pressure to show some performance when there is not a super clear future. Sometimes you miss the feeling of fulfillment.
