      Pros

      great pay and benefits, company car. most of the sales reps are good people to work with that understand the team mentality.

      Cons

      goals are almost always unattainable. nothing is ever good enough. constant fire drills and conference calls based on performance. highly unstable work environment.

      Great place for work/life balance and salary. Big company can make you feel lost

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits and salary for Europe. Stress level is relatively low although people work hard and are very commited. It's generaly easy to have a work/life balance. E.g; it's part of the local culture that you can take off early on fridays to enjoy your week end! New Campus is fantastic and makes it a very nice place to work. Opportunities to change department and change jobs frequently if you like. Good opportunities for on the job training and development

      Cons

      As any big companies, burocracy slows things down too much and it's sometimes very difficult to get things moving. Changing jobs is easy if you make lateral moves but getting a promotion is a lenghty process, especially if you're not in the upper management levels.
