      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Surrounded by brilliant people, allows you to learn a lot in many different fields

      Cons

      Aside from absorbing as much technical knowledge as one can, there aren't really any general guidance (as in what to concentrate on) for career progression

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      + international environment + stable job + friendly and helpful co-workers + many days of holidays (30 days + long Christmas break)

      Cons

      - difficult to get another contract, even when performing well - bureaucratic - working experience greatly depends on a team and specifically a boss - huge rotation of employees which sometimes results in a chaotic work
