Pros

You get to be YOU while working with a diverse group of co-workers. Even if you have different ideas, you'll learn to work with a team either to comfortably compromise or to lead the team in the direction that you want. There are also opportunities for horizontal career moves as well as vertical career moves within the company. The international network is exceptional.

Cons

Cons that can be deemed as Pros too : Flat hierarchical structure. It's a down to earth company, job title is not priority. So if you simply want to move up the ladder, there aren't many rungs! But that does not mean that there are limited opportunities. You need to know what you want, work for it and be determined not to give up.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
