Pros

The only pros are snacks (but only provided in certain offices) and nice co-workers.

Cons

Completely target-driven company, your every mistake is analysed and discussed into absurd detail, when probably the main reason for it is boredom from the monotonous, mechanical work. If you're only a minute late three times you are invited for a meeting. Every time you're sick they want to know what your problem was (which seems to me like privacy violation) and make you sign a statement. You feel like a cyborg there and not human.

Pros

Great company and good employees

Cons

This is one of the worst places I have ever worked. They do not care about their employees here; to them, you are just another number. They get upset when you use your sick days, even though they are a legal right, and then retaliate against you by punishing you when you return to work. And be careful about filing a complaint with Human Resources because they are two-faced. Instead of helping you, it often ends up backfiring on you. That is why no one feels comfortable going to them. This company does not appreciate or value its employees unless you have connections or favoritism. Management, starting from the top, has no clear direction. Everything constantly changes, even when it is not the best option, simply because someone higher up decided it. The environment feels outdated and authoritarian, like something from another era. There is a lot of hypocrisy, resentment, and abuse of power.
