Pros

If you are working in R&D there are plenty opportunities to progress in your carrier. Apart from that I would ass to pros: atmosphere within the local team, fair salaries, understanding from the management that each employee need to maintain work-private life balance

Cons

Constant changes without investigating/confirming whether previously implemented improvement have started to work. Pure communication across functions in R&D. An attitude towards new eployees that everybody needs to gain his/her own experience without sharing information how a particular task can be done effciently; as there are no procedures understood as workflow for required activities to be completed in order to meet any milestone it makes a work of the team unefficient. Rein ytear structurization in R&D causing that in year or two there will be nobody to seek for lessons learnt
