Pros

Company provides some benefits like some paid techincal and soft skills training, and some after-work events. Nice office and environment. Good focus on ergonomics (including office equipment) with in the IT world is not typical.

Cons

Changes are almost impossible to be made which has led the company to be way behind the industry standards on several lines within IT. Culture is rather rigid and very vertical. Some usual benefits that the IT branch has are not provided (like partial homeworking). Also, the recent decision of outsourcing work to India has cut off the development perspective for the IT people.

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
