Pros

The benefits are good, and it is very prominent employer to have on your resume. You will also meet people from all over the world, and the organization does take good care of their employees.

Cons

wish they did tuition reimbursement though. FIling taxes as self-employed and relying on the people in the tax office can be dreadful. But that goes with just about anything you would try to get done there, and it all goes back to the inflated bureaucracy that it is. The way US citizens have to file and pay their taxes is a huge PITA!

Pros

Great multicultural environment with people from all over the world, which creates a very enriching and inclusive atmosphere. Everyone is punctual and colleagues are very chill and easy to work with. The diversity of backgrounds makes collaboration genuinely enjoyable.

Cons

Very resistant to change and innovation. The organization tends to stick to old processes and is reluctant to adopt new technologies or modern approaches. Progress and improvements move extremely slowly, which can be frustrating for those looking to make an impact. its also unpaid which sucks
