Pros

Flexible and focused business. Opportunities to explore your topic. Great stepping stone if you find the right job. Forward looking work ethos.

Cons

Heavily overstaffed, so very limited opportunities for career advancement (but great stepping stone). International organisation evolving from primarily English speaking to German speaking so non German speakers may struggle.
