Pros

The most important to mention is human approach from managers and also from other employees and it´s really noticeable. They are trying to get rid of toxicity in the company which is more than appreciated. There are a lot of opportunities to grow and learn, when you are ambitious and hard-working - it´s seen. Great benefits and they are keep coming + telework.

Cons

Limited telework, however in special situation there is occasional work from home.
