      Bad working environment, but you can learn many things working here

      Pros

      Everyone is generally friendly with each other, pretty good career opportunities because good staff never stay beyond 2-3 years, so you can rise faster when people quit

      Cons

      Too culturally diverse, communication is bad because of some cultures, they claim that they want to talk about problems, but they try to avoid it or just to forget about it. Staff like to "talk the talk", saying that they will make changes, giving their word but completely avoiding it, or not mentioning it to think that it has passed.

      Pros

      New fancy offices, but no cantine, so it is not that convenient.

      Cons

      Managed by a old "gentlemen club" just lobbying an not acting in the in interest of the company, nor their team´s. Last minutes firefighting would fall on you almost every sinlge day and weekend just because projects are not planned nor executed properly. No empathy for team and all extra hours put through. Very poor corporate communication and no option to grow in the company. With 25% yearly turn over the knowledge can´t stay in the company, it is just bleeding away, and nothing works as it should.
