Pros

Good work environment. The company makes available everything for her employees to perform well: great infrastructure, training, on-site perks (lunches, yoga)..., great team building activities for newcomers...

Cons

As a privately-owned company, the inner-workings, performance and strategy is kept close to the chests by the partners.
