Wow, its indeed and excellent company. Ability to travel and work worldwide

Head count reduction when there is a downturn is very bad, the company is now known for this worldwide which is bad. Job security reduces employees morale ad they opt out whenever they can

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
