Pros

- well paid job especially for Bulgarian standards - very good benefits, such as mobile phone, company car, 25 days holiday for employees at management level

Cons

- keeping extremely formal relationship with colleagues favoured - mainly suitable employees promoted - often not asked to think, but to perform - a lot of overtime which is not compensated - liaisons between colleagues are not tolerated - cameras everywhere in the HQ as if participating in Big Brother - layoffs happen overnight

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
