Not perfect, but pretty decent

Pros

Growing company, beautiful office, conveniently located, competitive perks, happy hour every Friday, many interesting challenges, generally lots of autonomy, opportunities for growth

Cons

Can be very political, often lots of red tap; several managers who play it too safe, afraid to step on people's toes; change is quite slow

We work in a castle - it really is a fairy tale!

Pros

Amazing work environment, simply the best colleagues and outstanding leaders! Working here makes you feel like you've truly hit the jackpot!

Cons

The company already has so many perks so it's sad to see that it's still not enough for some people and they kind of ruin it by always wanting more - I've never worked somewhere that gives such incredible perks, I just wish the staff appreciated it more

Pros

- Competitive salaries - Tons of perks - One of the best insurance policies - Clear management - Tons of documentation - Friendly work environment

Cons

- Work is exclusively on Macs (I'm a Windows guy, but learned quickly - this isn't really a con but it's all I could think of)
