Pros

International environment. Above average salary. Possibility to change job inside the organization. Customer obsession. Help growing your resume.

Cons

Too many manual tasks overwhelming your possibity to add value to the company. Too many people not coming from digital/ecommerce. Bad project management at all levels. No clear idea about where the company is headed. Feeling like you are in a sect instead that in a company: you have to adapt or die, your creativity is not needed. No profits in 20 years. No good reputation when trying to cheat national law about taxes. Poor in-house tools.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
