Pros

— Flexible hybrid work setup with the ability to choose remote days during the week — Support for employee well-being, including partial sports compensation. Regular team activities and internal engagement initiatives (runs, talks, quizzes, seasonal events) — Strong employer brand and generally positive team atmosphere across most teams — Opportunity to collaborate across functions and gain exposure to different business areas

Cons

— Limited transparency around career progression and promotion criteria — Advancement can be slow, even for consistently strong performers — Noticeable attrition of experienced employees after 2–3 years due to growth limitations — Compensation growth is often less competitive for internal employees compared to external hires — Decision-making and performance evaluation can feel subjective depending on leadership — Team dynamics can vary depending on leadership style, with some teams experiencing less inclusive or hierarchical environments — Limited structured approach to retaining and developing junior talent/interns
