Pros
- Great colleagues to work with, very knowledgeable people, fun to work with - English is the main language in the office, hence there’s a quite international environment, which is also great for foreigners - The office is very modern and nice, very well equipped (gym, terrace, garage, etc.), and very central location - Depending on the teams you work with, your working hours can be flexible according to your needs (leaving early/arriving late/longer breaks) - Good benefits, especially box discounts
Cons
- Salaries are lower compared to similar/same positions in other companies plus only 24 days off per year (one day is added per year worked) - Promotions and salary increases are hard to get (cyclical layoffs in different teams and markets). The company is structured in a very political way, to get a promotion often you need to show off/know someone and it’s not always very meritocratic. People sometimes wait (over) one year to be promoted, while already fulfilling the next position/role without getting any recognition or title change or money increase - Review cycles could be improved, lack of transparency - Policy changes (e.g. home office budget, learning budget, office presence) are often not properly and promptly communicated - Processes are not always structured in the best way, combined with a political environment, this sometimes causes priorities to be shifted and projects to be cancelled without proper communication to the team - Often teams are understaffed and it’s hard to make a case for new team members
