Pros

- Company does interesting and important things for the infrastructure of our world.

Cons

- You're no one if you're not in a HQ office or in Germany. - No career growth opportunities unless you're at the HQ or an engineer. - Marketing/Communications are not seen as a valued part of the business. - Constant restructuring and changes for business reporting purposes only. - Moving through a flat but highly bureaucratic organization, means your career stagnates and moves in circles unless you're an engineer or at HQ. - Bad employees are allowed to linger in positions, meaning good employees pick-up more work with less recognition. - During my exit interview I was told that high achieving employees rarely stay more than 3 years. - The most common thing I head during my time with the company was, "That's not part of my job description."

Pros

Great company and coworkers. People are very nice and friendly and the CEC is a nice place to work and the role has flexible hours.

Cons

There is a lot of work to be done so there's a lot of stress that comes with the role. There are times where you will have to work over 40 hours a week. Seems like work-life balance is not prioritized.
