Pros

There is a company culture that takes your career plan preferences into consideration. We have an open position system that provides opportunities to challenge yourself in other teams and business units. The working style is flexible, allowing you to adjust your arrival and departure times as well as work from home. There is a culture of cooperation among employees, and mutual support is the norm. There's a strong culture of collaboration here, with colleagues readily offering assistance and expertise, even across different teams. The company fosters a supportive environment where taking time off is easy and respected. They are understanding and accommodating of personal and family matters. Because people with various backgrounds gather here, we can have discussions from multiple perspectives and generate many ideas. There are also many individuals whose work approaches are informative, making it a great learning experience. We have the opportunity to connect with people from various countries and cultures here, if we choose to.

Cons

There isn't a structured training program for internal systems, work procedures, or rules, leading to inconsistencies in understanding and implementation. Internal rules can vary depending on your supervisor, even within the same company. Side jobs are not permitted.
