Pros

- Friendly and opened minded coworkers - Nice office - Good benefits

Cons

- No gym membership - Management is unorganized - Hard to build a carrier growth with constant changes in the company - Constant strategy and goal changes which demotivate and blocks carrier growth in the company - It's hard to say something about a project that you've worked on because it was simply interrupted in the middle (sometimes in the beginning) due to no strategy behind decisions or it's kept secret outside of upper management - There's no local based HR to report complaints or difficulties to
