Pros

Only positive points is solidarity from some individuals in the company.

Cons

They might make you think they want to grow you there, and might be wasting years here without seeing any improvement. Some discrimination, racist comments from a teamleader can happen. They can be anti-social, anything you say in the best way can be taken against you. If majority and superior decide they personally don't like you they will use any pretext to have you out and not give you any other options. In this case they encourage bullying, sexual harassment. Management can be pretty bad and can hide, twist or lie to save themselves from a situation and would rather put the blame on you. Sometimes they do it because they would rather avoid the problem than dealing with it. In this instance, the company's values are not respected

Pros

Unlimited vacation is a perk.

Cons

The company has serious cultural and leadership issues, particularly around accountability for inappropriate conduct. There have been significant concerns regarding a senior global employee’s behavior, including inappropriate sexual relationships with employees across multiple countries and concerns about misuse of position, influence, and company resources to support his behavior. The fact that these concerns were reportedly allowed to continue raises serious questions about the company’s commitment to "safety". Reporting concerns to HR was not viewed as an effective solution. A workplace cannot maintain trust when employees believe power and position can shield predatory behavior. Employees should also be aware that compensation expectations may not align with reality. Bonuses that employees work toward throughout the year will not be paid out as expected, and communication around these decisions has been unclear and last minute. Overall, leadership has appeared disorganized, unqualified, inconsistent, and lacking direction.
