Pros

- Nicely decorated office - Aeron chairs - You get to choose your hardware (within a budget) - Generous vacation package - Lots of interesting people - Flexible schedule

Cons

- Lack of choice between projects - Big on promises, but rarely delivers and rarely on time - Average salaries compared to other IT companies in the city - Weak assortment of benefits - Work process inconsistent with improvised interventions - Most events/delegations they organize are out of hours and require you to sacrifice your own time to attend - Employees have to work extra (while not on the clock) for some things they were promised when hired - No employee progression plans and very limited conference/external training budget - Poor management with constant changes
