Pros

Good place to start your career, recent graduates can be involved in the latest technologies(LTE, 4G, GPON) and advance quickly. Dress is casual and working life reasonably flexible with hours and some balance towards personal business/needs. Benefits and compensation appear to be average.

Cons

Middle management is mainly business folk with sometimes little understanding of the work being performed by the technical people below and are using accounting software to manage a technical field - this produces many additional tasks to update statistics to monitor your work level, reducing the overall efficiency. The office environment is very cramped(70 sq ft per 2 people/desks) and can be loud due to calls on speaker.

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.
