Great brands, but processes need serious improvement

Pros

Work from home twice a week, which really helps with flexibility. Location is convenient and close to home. Family and intimate atmosphere.

Cons

Communication isn’t always clear, which causes confusion and slows down processes. There are way too many meetings throughout the day, leaving very little time to focus on actual work. This often leads to finishing tasks after hours, hurting work-life balance. Too many projects running at the same time, and each one takes a lot of time to execute. It often feels unrealistic to manage everything at once. Not enough respect for employees’ time and priorities, which can create unnecessary stress.

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.
