Pros

I worked in a very organized and friendly team. The atmosphere was quite good. Tasks were interesting at the beginning, but repetitive after a while.

Cons

repetitive processes and difficult to make changes and the operations. Most of the employees worked in the organization for many years and are reluctant to any changes.
