Pros

Can’t think of any pros.

Cons

Horrible management and rotten culture of complacence and sociopathic C-suite. Not a place for a top performers or someone who likes to do good quality work. Team collaboration is non-existent, with each group trying to get more resources and projects from other groups . The current pipeline says it all!

Pros

- A well-established multinational company with strong industry recognition, offering relative job security. - Some flexibility remains with remote work, though policies are shifting (currently 2 office days per week). And there is no 100% remote contract option. - Collaborative environment with colleagues from different backgrounds, which can be professionally enriching.

Cons

- Teams are consistently overworked, yet filling open positions takes far too long. - Frequent leadership gaps leave employees without direction or support in decision-making. - Employees are regularly assigned additional roles/responsibilities with no salary adjustments or recognition. - Recent D&I changes generated frustration, and non-European employees report difficulties with internal mobility. - Hard work and expanded responsibilities rarely lead to promotions, raises, or meaningful acknowledgment.
