Pros

The lunch is good and practically free.

Cons

Awful career progression and management. Leadership team constantly changes the rules under the claim of 'transparency' but worsens the situation. Complete nonsense buzzwords like fairness and transparency used as an excuse for terrible decisions. No communication around new rules, just rumours flying everywhere about the changes. Latest rules can require years and years of waiting between promotions. Middle management unwilling to make leadership aware of employee pain. A hapless Works Council completely unable to defend employees against unreasonable impositions. Just, sad.

Pros

People are great, I have created amazing connections and friendships along the way. Fun work environment we work hard but are able to play harder. Global reach, often connecting with people around the world.

Cons

Not much mobility and constant change. Hard to be stable in that kind of environment. Many times the plan is not fully complete before expecting execution and very siloed creating duplication of effort and work.
