Pros

Company is growing and in Europe you might have opportunities across different countries, salary is ok and based on performance you can have a an increase every year, stock option plan is great.

Cons

Slow and bureaucratic, internal promotion are a scam, and totally detached from skills and performance and if you have to start from the lowest level is micromanaging all over.

Good work life balance. Decent benefits.

Leadership team is sub par. They can’t stick to any long term plan. Way too much politics.
