Pros

tries to make people come together and create a team environment.

Cons

- Promotions are at a crawling pace. It is a revolving door here. - Top down hierarchy mentality. The longer you have been there the more work you get to dish out. This may be due to lack of resourcing and managers getting flooded with work. - Non innovative people. They do the bare minimum and try to speak up during meetings to receive a popularity award. - Unwillingness to change and improve/streamline processes. The way things have been done are the way things are going to be.

Pros

Work / life balance - European hours 37.5 is full time Remote based work - perfect for those who want to stay out of offices

Cons

Outdated systems Outdated processes and lack of strategic mindset - constant shifting of work and not truly evaluating the gaps that need to be filled Rude VPs who infect the teams and create hostile environments, when brought to leadership attention, comments were made that "is just how they are"
