Good work-life balance

Pros

Good work-life balance, excellent . You also get to collaborate across regions and disciplines. As an employee-owned company, there's certain sense of shared purpose and long-term thinking, especially in those that make it to top grades giving you access to shares.

Cons

Career growth opportunities are good, but only if your discipline aligns with Company's long-term plans. You may join the company thinking that they are bigger players in your field of expertise than they really are, only to find youself having to reinvent or eventually go into a career change if you want to grow.
