Pros

Excellent training opportunities and flexible working in home office Offices worldwide Focus on reskilling for digitalization and AI provides opportunity to develop quickly and take on interesting projects High ethical standards Has both management and technical promotion paths

Cons

Process before people. Can get lost in complex processes trying to solve mundane problems. professed culture of regular feedback not lived by many managers. Focus still very much on managing numbers, rather than impactful outcomes for the customer and employees.
