Pros

Big company with possibility to move to different sites and parts of the world. Invests a lot in technology and has an important participation in renewable energies.

Cons

The top management gets too involved in all types of decisions, strategic and operational, not allowing to operate correctly and changing decisions last minute. The company is currently suffering strong financial problems and its a mistery what will turn out to be.

Full of Bureaucracy

Pros

The mission of the organization is great. A lot of really smart, amazing people work there. They have 1/2 days on Fridays over the summer which is really nice.

Cons

The bureaucracy is like no other place I've ever seen. There is no way to tell who is doing what and a ton of money seems to be wasted on inefficient processes. Poor pay to round that off.
