Pros

Quite a large company, so interesting projects and tasks are available. There seems to be an aim to modify the culture towards a more engaging and empowering one, but there needs to be a lot of change to achieve that.

Cons

Very hierarchical structure, top-down management and lack of leadership skills in team leaders. A culture that highlights the individual, not the team, creates negative competition between colleagues and causes people to guard their knowledge rather than share it. Lack of transparency in terms of compensation. There is an expectation that one should know everything from the get-go, rather than learn by doing and with the support of their leaders/organization.
