      Pros

      Low amount of office politics, great location, and people are overall pleasant.

      Cons

      People are underqualified and overpaid, no degrees, and thus no promotion. Key executives are brought in from out of country.

      When the business goes wrong, the company doesn't stick to its values.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good compensation package - Nice office setting - Not aggressive business environment - management can move deadlines, and project delays are normally accepted if you have good reasons for that

      Cons

      - Often changing priorities and org structure - Aggressive cost-cutting and many collective dismissals globally over the course of the last 2 years, with many unexplained and not always consecutive decisions. Global restructuring process was also delegated to some people who were not very successful in the previous round of restructuring. - A lot of elderly employees who are mainly interested in the security of their jobs, following their established ways of working, and are not open to innovation/change. - Overall slow career growth - it might take ages for you to be promoted, as many people keep their positions for many years, even up to retirement.

      Annual layoffs and restructuring is the only strategy

      Pros

      Work from home to employees outside the office location/city. This makes work-life balance easy most times.

      Cons

      Frequent layoffs followed by "reorgs and restructuring", leadership changes in every 2 years followed by vision and strategy change. No solid direction, No fair compensation, lost the once-dreamy culture as the people who nurtured it left or were laid off, increments next to none. Just a matter of time till you make it to the yearly retrenchment list.
