Business Outlook

Pros

Good work life balance Vivid environment - frequent transformations and reorganizations

Cons

Capabilities/ skills of people in senior management roles People development strongly underestimated (you need to bring it from outside rather than count on developing yourself in the company) Approach to annual performance reviews- avg bonus for above-average performance = < 0,5-1% o annual salary It is much more difficult to find a job outside the company than change it internally
