Pros

Good company with a stable business; A good place to work if you want just a job, nothing more, no career or opportunity to improve further; Very nice headquarter in Bucharest, an old building that was completely refurbished.

Cons

"the old way of doing business". no willigness to make progress, no broader view; The major downside is for the ones who want and who can make a difference, the managers have no perspective of the future; No digital background, no digital knowledge or the willigness to learn; Few or none opportunities to improve your skills.
