Pros

Good bonuses . Relaxed dress code. Good facilities in all offices. Company car. The values are spot on but when someone doesn’t follow them there is no consequence.

Cons

Only get good grades/bonuses if leadership know you well in general and you shout about what great work you are doing - somebody with the same quality of work and output will get a lower grade if they do not go round telling everyone how great they are compared to other louder colleagues. Leadership can’t keep anything to themselves, telling team members confidential information without a second thought. Company car restrictions are frustrating. It is almost expected and normal for you to work outside your hours, there is no hesitation to amp up workload to unreasonable measures.
