Pros

I am pleased with my benefits package, in particular the availability of benefits for healthcare, vision, and dental. The direction the company seems to be going appears to be a good one in which the company will be very well positioned against its competition.

Cons

Long hours, not much feedback from management regarding performance.

Business Outlook

Pros

The work is very challenging and also you are working with technologically top-notch products, few companies can compete with that. In addition, the overall team is very nice, open-minded, and helpful - particulary to newcomers or people who had little background in the industry. Also the IT used is top-notch, and overall there is a European- kind of spirit, which is aiming to be dynamic, fast, and no-nonsense. Obviously you are working at a top-notch company in the area. And, not unimportant, the customers are also respectful.

Cons

administration, heavy, slow local management, little flexibility in work/life balance, European spirit sometimes not recognised although this is getting better now.
