Pros

Nice people feels like a community. Managers are willing to put effort in and help you grow and learn

Cons

SALARY: Apparently the year-end review and increase is based on performance but even if you go out of your way it doesn’t make much difference. It tops at 4% so basically the value your taking home usually decreases year by year. You need to beg for extra increase or get promoted to a higher grade. (As Sideway moves don’t come with increase, just be thankful for the opportunity) WORKLOAD: is high due to the LEAN structure but in the same time this gives you more opportunity for personal growth FLEXIBILITY: 1 day working from home, flexible start times, short Fridays. This was a great benefit before pandemic however this is clearly not enough nowadays and shows how the company doesn’t consider the market trend. This is the main reason people leave the company alongside with the below the average salaries.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
