Pros

- Great campus with awesome sports facilities - Exposure to a global design team and talented people - Flexi hours - You get to work on projects that get great visibility

Cons

- Too political - Career progression can be unclear, especially for design roles. Internal mobility is encouraged but often depends on who you know. - Salaries are competitive for the industry, but raises and promotions tend to be slow and not always performance-based. - Decision-making can be slow due to layers of hierarchy and approvals.
