Pros

- Most of the colleagues are nice and hard working. - International teams.

Cons

- Management lacks experience. Employees are often assigned to projects that do not match their skills. Work is poorly organized, and much effort is wasted on work that is later not used. - Tasks are often given just to keep people busy and are not related to main projects. Status updates are requested, but results are ignored. - Employees are assigned to several projects at the same time while being expected to appear fully dedicated to only one. - The promotion process is unclear and inconsistent. Official criteria are not followed. - HR support is slow and unclear, and communication is often unanswered. - There is little support for technical, organizational, or HR problems, leaving employees to solve issues on their own. Result: burnout, high employee turnover, and low trust in management.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
