Pros

Relatively good benefits (ticket restaurant, private health insurance, discount in bookings), nice colleagues and office ambience.

Cons

Middle management simply sucks! Plus, the more numbers of the company increase, the more robotic the tasks become. Emotions are not allowed, or get "punished". Awful quarterly and annually review system with grades (hellooo.... we are not in high school anymore!), and people getting dismissed or resigned due to personal preferences of local middle and senior management. Favoritism and politics is the only thing happening these days in our office. The Game of Thrones author would be really jealous of the "scenarios" written here daily!
