Pros

Company is growing and in Europe you might have opportunities across different countries, salary is ok and based on performance you can have a an increase every year, stock option plan is great.

Cons

Slow and bureaucratic, internal promotion are a scam, and totally detached from skills and performance and if you have to start from the lowest level is micromanaging all over.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
