Pros

Good coworkers. Okay start salary, decent bonus/pension.

Cons

Not nearly good enough training, just learning by doing. Local leaders that doesn’t know the first thing about management. Micromanagement is worse than I ever experienced before. Extremely stressful workplace, where you are constantly overbooked. Salary development is extremely low. Most people stay for 2 years and then go to competitors.
