Pros

Company present good advancement opportunities, good distinction between work and personal life. I would recommend anyone to work here if you are motivated and looking for a good opportunity.

Cons

Seems like each week the company is changing the expectations. They do not focus on one thing, and although you must excel in all areas it would be nice to know what the company wants most.
