Pros

Good working environment and team. Interesting projects and very innovative products. Company with good ethical values ​​and vision, reliable and secure.

Cons

Very hierarchical structure and political leads to very slow and centralized decisions. You lose a lot of time in meetings and processes and there is little incentive to new ideas (excessive bureaucracy). Lack of decisiveness and flexibility to local teams and heavy dependence on central structure. Career management and training nonexistent, professional recognition informal and not consistent.

Pros

Pretty good benefits package. Pay is decent.

Cons

Too many "chiefs" not enough "indians". Management could use classes in communication. Whole computer system desperately needs updating from hardware to software and definitely a local person who speaks the same language to help with problems.
