Pros

The people I work with are bright, intelligent and helpful. Very human, eager to help each other out, very positive. When you're actually doing direct work with folks, it's a very positive experience.

Cons

The company is transitioning to a more standard North American style of corporation, and the leadership role has a lot of overhead attached to it... lots of meaningless reports, lots of meaningless presentations, lots of paperwork to do - especially at performance and salary review time. You're constantly calibrating and re-calibrating your team. Every sprint is audited. Upper management is erratic. Many promises made about North American growth for years, with little to no follow through. Company has a hard time making a plan, sticking with it and giving people time time to do the engineering.

Awesome work culture. You get to meet everyone from every team in the company. Every one are so helpful. Even the people from different teams will help you to achieve your tasks. Even the managers are so helpful. Perks: Wednesday Lunch, Friday Happy hours.
