Pros

Modern office in a convenient central location. Pleasant communal areas and well-equipped kitchen facilities, all areas are air-conditioned. Clean and sterile environment.

Cons

Flexible working and leave procedures are unclear and inconsistently applied, particularly affecting newer employees. If you are a starter then you have less rights and benefits than old staff. During a difficult personal time involving my mother’s cancer treatment, I encountered challenges obtaining formal approval for urgent leave. Verbal permissions were not documented, which led to unfortunate misunderstandings, as people are afraid of HR and denied they gave me permission to work from abroad. Do not count on verbal confirmations from your managers eg. working from abroad when your mother is dying. Lack of empathy, cold environment, unfair treatment, values and democracy are missing. Actions don't match company values, values are just market words on a paper.
