Pros

I initially worked for a company that was bought by Ericsson, most of us from creative rather then corporate backgrounds. A few of the perks were - modern offices - flexible work hours - working from home - good, relaxed atmosphere, surrounded with fun people from different backgrounds and countries, very international - paid overtime

Cons

For a communications company the internal communications are beyond bad, finding any information in a jungle of acronyms that nobody knows what they stand for is rather untransparent and difficult. - being from a creative/media background there isn't many options for moving up in the company - shockingly low salaries/no salary increases/no bonuses (in the UK at least) - high staff turnover - a lot of offshoring and redundancies - HR is slow and unorganised, hard to find information - poor IT infrastructure, you're not being provided the necessary tools to do your job properly and getting anything fixed is a lengthy process - the employees aren't shown enough respect or that they are valued by the company

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
