Pros

- Good work-life balance - Nice and friendly colleagues - Good training and learning opportunities - Good benefits: healthcare, gym subsidy, extra monitor for working from home - Great company if you plan to stay there for the rest of your career

Cons

- Not a meritocracy, performance is assessed by how long you've been at the company and not by how good you are at your job. This protects management and Senior positions, who already know how the system works and have become lazy as a consequence - Performance is tied to your bonus, meaning that the longer you've been there, the higher the bonus will be - No career growth opportunities, people are stuck to the same job title for several years - No real salary increase

The company places a strong emphasis on continuous learning and professional growth, with clear encouragement for employees to develop their skills over time. There are frequent, fun company events that help build connections across teams and contribute to a genuinely friendly and collaborative culture. Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
