Pros

- International environment - Great colleagues - Free in house gym - Great office location - Lots of traveling - Compensation is decent

Cons

- Engineering department is run by managers who are clueless and have zero experience in the domain - You will be fired if you don't compliment your boss - You are not allowed to ask questions - Inflexible regarding special situations (is you are sick or family member suffers an accident you will be threatened to not take days off and just work) - Annual reviews are a joke; manager will give you 2/5 score, zero feedback and no raise - Performance is measured in quantity over quality although everyone complains that legacy applications are in a poor state - There is no HR in the company; if someone has a problem only the manager can "solve it"; if you have a problem with the manager because of his/hers toxic behavior, you will probably be fired very soon - The company has a very bad reputation and the Unemployment office knows about this toxic place - There is an annual benefit to experience a company tour but the manager will threaten to fire you if you decide to take it - There are allot of presentations how the company embraces different cultures and supports diversity & inclusion but it's just a big lie; management doesn't care about it
