Pros

- They really care about your professional growth - Great benefits (health, bonus, inhouse benefits like food or car wash), feels like home. - You can only talk about salary with your boss - 80% of the people really cares about team work. - Great talent in every field and department.

Cons

- Your boss is really your only point of contact, so if you have a bad relationship with him/her, it can be really hard dealing with any issue and you can be sure that HR will not care because HR does not manage "people" issues anymore, the managers are in charge of that now. - They have a "restricted about money culture", so asking for a raise, if you're not in the marketing or commercial team, is delusional. - They expect, don't care and will not ask if you have to work evenings or weekends (and you will have to, everyone in the company has to because it is a lot of work). - They say: you have to give always an extra mile (means working late and do work out of your functions).

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
