Pros

Team great, Team Leaders are great When you have a problem they help and they are there for you Great Benefits I think you won't find it anywhere else Because you have so many to use also your family can be taken in

Cons

Too much to do at once, sometimes really pressuring and you don't have really time for a breath. But hopefully it will change with other new Members And they should look after salary because it is now all over the World so let's hope they will change in it. (HOPE+FAITH) But then the Stock RSU´s fell a lot what's really bad but lets see, we don't see in the future... But in all everything OK.
