Pros

The home office is great! Working from home is as normal as work in the office. Competitive salary Nice people Great projects over all sectors

Cons

Nothing is free there - You have to pay for your tea, coffee, snacks, lunch, etc... Bureaucratic and slow back-office. Eg.: If you need a new machine or even a peripheric, it may take a while to be provided (besides the online forms you have to fill out and as for approvals). Seems don't have the culture to sponsor employees to attend technical events.

Pros

Some cool tech in the stack and the tools used to build the CI/CD pipeline. Good cafe in the building.

Cons

No Onboarding, No Engineering Documentation, Poor Collaboration and Communication and a hostile work environment. When my manager was replaced with a new one, he proved to be an inexperienced and a bully and as he was assigned to work for a manager who was also a bully, I had no choice but to file a formal complaint with HR and with the head of the business unit when without giving any negative feedback, my new manager singled me out from the group as the only person that was not allowed to work from home several days a week as had been promised by the hiring manager. I was also singled out as the only person in the group that had to work specified hours. My formal complaint generated a witchhunt. I provided digital proof of my case that made it clear that anything negative that was being said about me was false, but it was ignored. During the witchhunt, the head of the business unit even interviewed 2 employees who had worked with me 15 years earlier in a different type of Engineering group (QA) to see what they had to say about my performance at that time. My Employment Lawyer stated that a court would not look kindly on such an inappropriate tactic. I was not alone in my concerns about our new management chain as our Architect left the company shortly after the change in management and others left the group over the next few months as well. Worst work experience I have ever had in 36 years in the industry across companies of all sizes.
