Pros

A great place to work with a friendly and supportive environment. The atmosphere makes it easy to collaborate and feel comfortable every day. Another big plus is the location—there are plenty of street food options, cafes, and fast food spots nearby, so finding something to eat is always convenient. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a positive and well-connected workplace!

Cons

One downside is that employees are required to pay for their own annual parking for bikes or cars. It would be great if this could be covered or subsidized in the future.
