Pros

Great professional relationships; very good conditions - legal, social. Good perspective for career growth. Professional attitude to work-life balance.

Cons

I think the salary is rather average or low, also the compensation policy could be more transparent. Although I was given a great perspective for growth, it is quite unsure with the present growth rate.
