Pros

- Comfortable company culture - Stable career growth and opportunities - Salaries correspond or above the market - Nice and comfortable communication with colleagues and management - Very good benefits package - company is working hard on improvement to make it the better place for its employees

Cons

There are no such cons that would make me not recommending this company to others. The only, let's say "inconvenience" is that sometimes senior management requests are not always clear and people are sometimes puzzled. That's of course can be the consequence of how busy the seniors are in their daily responsibilities. so it's understandable.

Pros

Great opportunities to grow professionally and take risks.

Cons

Lack of concern of overworking down the line of employees. International teams require unnatural working hours. Lack of rewards for top level workers - only the squeaky wheels get greased. Some decisions are not well thought out at the top and create insane changes to plans constantly.
