Pros

No need to work really... just collect your salary. Funny place.

Cons

Planning is for yesterday... no long term outlook and very.. very... very.. short term look. Decision making is ridiculous, no brains, no planning, no care, 180° contradiction between yesterday's decision and tomorrow's decision... 90% of the employees are either stupid, unnecessary or simply just want to collect their salary. Products line is outdated, no place for innovation, no real understanding in new technology or in doing business. 100% of this company is politics and constant politic war between the organization units leads to ridicule, amusement and lack of progress. Different units are actually developing similar products which eventually never see the daylight... No clear and understandable long-term strategy for this company, it seems that the senior management enjoys throwing money on company-paid dinners than actually leading this company forward... Bureaucracy rules. You have an idea? - that's great... but how does it fit the paperwork... and would it need an extra mile from your fellow employee? if both are correct... you are not really a fit to this company culture - because - who wants to work really...?

Good autonomous vibe remote work. Benefits are good.
