Pros

Great work-life balance. Great opportunities to explore new areas. Lots of improvement opportunities which gives a lot of space to employees to explore areas of interest Leadership down to earth and approachable

Cons

Very diverse on low levels, when it comes to senior leadership it stops. Very long decision making process for not such huge company. The company too many forums, committees and teams because managers cannot take decisions. Long term goals are unrealistic which translates into short term goals also unrealistic which translates in mediocre behavior since "the goal was too high anyways"
