Pros

Although there has been some recent changes - there is still quite a lot of liberty on what you can do and quite flexible work hours and culture. Engineering wise there are a lot of people who you can learn from, who also will readily help you out for any difficulties you have if you ask.

Cons

The company has changed directions significantly due to recent management changes, and due to that technological innovation has slowed down a lot - the focus is more on short term revenue. Operations wise it can only get better - as it is as unorganized and slow as it can possibly be.

Pros

Truly international in scope and reach, with a mostly HR-centric culture that values employees and delivers management training and feedback well. Nice offices, especially in Norway, and a collaborative and open culture with very little finger-pointing. Lots to do, and many resources with which to do it.

Cons

Sometimes a little too European and slow-moving, particularly with regard to setting a direction and sticking to it and/or not shedding unpromising programs or projects quickly enough.
