Pros

Great pay, generally good work environment.

Cons

Super woke/big into DEI hiring practices; could be a pro or con depending on your demographics, but you may get passed over for a less qualified person in the banner of "diversity."

Pros

Good social security Good pension Company car or payout if your role demands a car

Cons

No money to take out customers to treat them anymore a 50usd per person it maximum. Not allowed to travel if there not is an upside on a deal to do this. No base salary increase at all Company car have same amount of money as since 15 years back.... Only one company team event per year, kick-off in Las Vegas You can get kicked out anyday, management by fear from top WAY to much middle manager that just collect statistic but not contribute in any deals..... The good rating on "best company to work for" is just because all i so afraid to get laid off if they say anything not inline with what the company think... If you are a MAN, don´t apply for a work then we only quote in women, perfect candiate is a women, 25 years old with no IT history......
