Challenging role ; Wonderful Work Culture ; An approachable Leadership team!

Business Outlook

Pros

A fantastic organization, amazing work culture, a good team and very competitive-supportive functioal teams. One can approach any personnel in the organisation irrespective of their position to get your doubts clarified! Senior Management listens to you very well and looks to take an action, which I think motivates anyone!

Cons

Be prepared for Long working hours especially in any supporting roles. Poor Work-Life balance, but the management has been taking action to better it. Compensation could be a better for the amount of work being done.

Cons

- This is a rich company - there are many "transformation" activities with a questionable outcomes and benefits, with crowds of external consultants - No career development plan, no regular feedback sessions - Team manager not managing the team (specific case) - Many in fact junior colleagues (in Prague, not matter official role name they have), with missing personal maturity - (pre-Covid) Overfull of Prague office (however in a good location), with even management not respecting shared places ethiquette
