Pros

- I liked the canteen - a lot of parking space - quite place if you have a hearing damage and you don't hear the aeroplanes

Cons

- management - HR - Internet speed - low salary - constant bickering and backstabbing it is like working with children - USA mentality: if you don't like it you can go work elsewhere - the management are unable to comprehend an information unless it it overly positive : if you want to tell somebody that they suck at their job, you have to say that: you are suprise of the level of expertise with which they manage to suck at their job. Otherwise the management will filter out the sentence.
