Pros

- Free musli, milk, cokes

Cons

I have to say different departments have different experiences, but from my view: - Toxic work environment, I have seen 3 internal rotations due to team attitude. - Verbal aggression is very common, related to first point. I have seen colleges shouting at each other just for different ideas. At company level, there are even workshops to improve this. - Lack of flexibility in decision making, everything needs to be agreed. Progressive change is frowned up, everything needs to have a process, jumping a step in the process is a reason to start a hot discussion. - High personal rotation, related to first points. Also most of the person in probation period do not pass. After relocating a person and firing it for not filling a high standard, is just disheartened. This has happened 3 times in my close environment. - Very stressful work, you may need to work at 24x7, they may "suggest" you to work in it. You cannot balance work and life.
