Pros

Great management, very inclusive/ collaborative approach and a clear strategy. Maybe the Finnish approach but this is not a company that 'throws people away' - they always try to challenge and develop their employees to get the best out of them.

Cons

Can sometimes be a little too driven out of HQ. Sometimes needs to listen to their country leaders a little more.

Pros

tram 4, in 25 minutes it takes you to city center

Cons

> super-low salary level > managament squeezes you promising "better conditions" and grow possibilities (that never happen) > they offer a salary and at the end of the recruiting process they offer much less > office has been modernized but it's a big open space, total silence and eyes on you all the time
