Pros

Free parking, coworkers are excellent. Pay is decent.

Cons

Team leaders on a power trip are allowed to bully workers. The work loads are ludicrous; no one could ever possibly do the amount of work that is expected.

Pros

Salary is good and therefore the company is full with people doing nothing

Cons

The Digital competences are 20 light years behind, all work is being done by agencies and contracters. I've never been in a more incompetent digital environment, where 90% of the employees just are creating PPTs and drowning in politics.
