Business Outlook

Pros

- Competitive salary with good benefits. - Hybrid model with "flexwork" possibility (working from abroad up to a certain amount of days per year). - State of the art IT equipment and software tools.

Cons

- Sometimes workload can be overwhelming. - Too much "politics" in mid to upper management, which ends affecting teams and leading people to pursue other opportunities.
