Pros

Opportunities abound - if you want to them.

Cons

Cultural shift since 2011 - totally focused on the finances and share price (check out the CEOs remuneration...) has transformed the company from a quality organisation to one that is only just papering over the cracks.

Pros

I liked my direct manager, he is considerate, polite and supportive. I also liked my coworkers.

Cons

inefficient management estructure, particularly managers in high positions are very busy but are innefective in solving problems. Carreer advancement is not based on performance or objective evaluations. Long working hours. too many procedures makes almost impossible to have total compliance and that you are able to manage anything.
