Pros

- virtually no layoffs - hybrid working model (50%/50% between home and office) - a lot of freedom in choosing own involvement level

Cons

- total compensation is very underwhelming (and getting worse every year) - very resistant to changes - top leadership seems oblivious to employee's and company's problems ... they simply ignore them - the company aims to hire cheaper and cheaper work force instead of aiming higher for better results
