Pros

Decent work-life balance with flexibility with working hours (unless its a sales team) Friendly colleagues:a few supportive and friendly team members, which can make the work environment more pleasant.

Cons

My experience at this company was growingly disappointing with time. The work environment was not very stimulating, and each day became more monotonous and dull. Despite the company's claims of supporting employees—especially when it comes to health—not much was done to actually to back this up. The workplace was often political, making it difficult to work in a constructive manner. Eventually I was fired in a brutal and unprofessional manner, further confirming the lack of genuine care for employees.

Pros

Nice colleagues always willing to help

Cons

HR and some female director want to make life miserable for everyone, the perfectly working 2 days work from home policy has been removed in the US and soon to follow in the UK. Killing the creativity that engineers and designers need, by taking away the freedom and forcing them to come 5 days to an overcrowded office with bad ventilation and poor parking availability.

Pros

Supportive and friendly culture. Great benefits. Scale of impact with a global, profitable, stable brand that customers cherish.

Cons

New requirement to be hired in only as hybrid, no more fully remote new hires or transitions into other job roles for remote workers.
