Pros

moderate salary, some flexibility in working hours

Cons

You can work there if you like unorganized environment, frequently changing teams-managers- priotisations. Working infrastructure not enough settled for ongoing projects, always needs new initiatives, and you'll be organizing all project planning-management-meeting-decision-implementation process. Be prepared not to be appreciated with your work, and be asked not enough in the end.

Pros

Good Compensation. Free food from tues - thurs Snack allowance that can be used at vending machines in the office Friendly people

Cons

No empathy with leaving employees. With my case in particular, I rendered 30 days notice prior to leaving and my pay was held even though I still have 4 more weeks with the company. I understand that it's a standard procedure, however they could have given compensation as to not put the employees in a difficult situation especially if they have responsibilities. Hybrid work setup. No parking aside from paid parking nearby the office. There are a lot of teams with managers outside of the country and frankly enough, employees are able to do their jobs remotely. A lot of grey areas in terms of promotion. No solid career development plan for employees. In my department in particular, requests get thrown here and there without proper screening. There is no black and white stipulation on my day to day responsibilities. I have also been questioned about my high salary and my manager demands for me to do more stuff even though it's not part of my job description in the first place.
