Pros

-salary, company benefits -facilities -stability -development opportunities This can be a good place for a few years, on a long term only for those who can swallow a lot and able to deal with stress on a daily basis.

Cons

Complex hierarchy, therefore decisions are slow. Often people in senior management are just talking about great things but the actions are missing which not only a pain for junior and front line staff but also disables the company from being innovative and competitive. The softwares which are used, are outdated and ineffective, therefore frontline staff has to do a lot of manual work that is increasing general stress level, customers are rightfully complaining a lot. Generally one person has a workload of two or even more. Instead of investing to working solutions their mindset is to cut costs by reducing staff and "empower" people to be able to work on any subject.

Pros

- An international organisation with the possibility to travel all across the world and in unusual locations. - Great teamwork with an understanding of flexible working, I had great support while finishing my studies or facing unexpected family commitments. - Excellent salary and benefits

Cons

- As a large organisation, it is undergoing frequent reorganizations which mean a regular change in roles and colleagues. - A slower than expected investment into renewables and more sustainable energy sources, although efforts are being made.
