Pros
Attractive and lively place of work with a great international community. A fun group of like-minded young professionals. Flexible schedule with the possibility to work remotely. Attempts to make the work-life balance better.
Cons
Unclear contract conditions during the recruitment process. Almost all employees, when made an offer, are offered freelance contracts. However, the terms and conditions of the contract don't follow a typical freelance situation. Others in similar positions are offered employee contracts which include benefits such as vacation days, etc. No transparency to why specific people are offered one contract compared to the other. Offers flexitime, but depending on your role you could be frequently overworked without every gaining an opportunity to reclaim your time. Extra time goes unnoticed and unrewarded. Significant salary disparities between staff within similar functions and even greater disparities between teams and offices. As most employees are young professionals they don't have the confidence to negotiate salaries before signing contracts. Initial offers are typically quite low which make it very complicated to have significant increases during the yearly salary review. Employees are also almost never included in the conversation during salary reviews, once again not a transparent system. Some employees are mislead into the possibilities of specific projects or career growth. Many things are not guaranteed and promises are not kept nor respected. Poor training and onboarding structure. Career development is challenging unless you're a person who takes a lot of initiative and makes it clear on what you want to do. Difficult to make transitions and evolve in your role.
