At the same time, we recognize the importance of having clear direction and a well-structured work environment. Reorganizations are part of how we adapt, innovate, and grow — and we’re focused on ensuring they lead to better clarity and collaboration across teams.

Pros

Smart and nice people. Good for retirement.

Cons

Layoffs are so frequent that it is hard to do your job. It is full of smart and experienced people and there is no upward mobility.

Pros

Good Benefits, great office, great canteen

Cons

Too much internal politics and power hungry management. Reorganizations are happening all the time (5 in 4 years, at some point I lost track of my department's name) decreasing stability just because senior management cares more about their own power than company's goals.

We really appreciate your honest and detailed feedback. It’s great to hear that you value the benefits, office environment, and canteen. At the same time, we understand that internal politics and frequent reorganizations can be challenging. That said, change is also an opportunity — it allows us to evolve, strengthen our alignment, and grow as a company. We’re committed to fostering greater stability and transparency, and to ensuring leadership decisions are clearly connected to our goals. Your perspective is important and helps us move forward.
