Pros

The products save thousands of people from cancer worldwide; The company offers flexible work schedule (3 days in the office) if you don't work in the factory; There are opportunities to work on different projects, providing a good learning experience; There is very good and very knowledgeable people that are always available to help; Good benefit and pension package.

Cons

The senior management team seems disconnected from the reality of the company, chasing unachievable and unrealistic deadlines, pushing projects over projects with very limited resources. The company is very "top-heavy" with many management layers, which causes lack of transparency and lack of clear communication. Cost-reduction (redundancies) and "optimisation" initiatives don't help, driving away those resources that would help getting things done. Growth opportunities seem only available to certain people and are constantly restricted by budget cuts

Pros

Good products and good mission to cure cancer. It used to have good work-life balance, good working culture but not anymore.

Cons

Constant re-orgs and lay off for cost cutting. No direction for the company on the senior management side. Current employees are in fear when they'd hit next. The company does not have bonus or RSUs, nor the most competetive salary, the only good part was work culture and stability and now thats also gone. Why would anyone join the company?
