Pluspunten

Great if you have children and/or want to work from 9 to 5. No stress (except during layoffs). Well paid. Work is not measured, you can pretty much do nothing.

Minpunten

Most of the products and/or technologies (except maybe for Radio Based Station) is outdated and/or irrelevant. Process oriented culture: The amount of processes in some units is so dense that one does not need to think, and prevents any sort of changes. In short, the company is incapable of adapting to new paradigms like Agile, or Cloud, or devops. Meetings, meetings and more meetings to plan another meeting. Everyone is a resource. As long as you are a X then you are paid Y and do Z. Being good or bad is more or less irrelevant as most get the same pay raise. No real management of people. HR has a strategy to "start hiring smart people" in 2015 -> yes, it is that bad. Most competent people have left, the few remaining are leaving as they just cant do any work. HR is completely oblivious to what is happening inside the company, all metrics and kpis are set to measure the desired values. Cost efficiency is about reducing costs by moving jobs to India because it is hourly cheap to do so.

Pluspunten

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Minpunten

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.
