Pros

Get to meet people from all over the world and make new friends Its a good learning opportunity in the field if you have a good leadership team

Cons

Underpaid Overworked Constantly under pressure and stress Awful timelines No communications Expected to be available 24/7 and not get paid for overtime Horrible management Favouritism Sexism and Racism Mangers do not keep confidential information to themselves. A lot of gossip HR is useless, do not complain about anything to them and do not report anything to them, HR does not follow the company policies and they will not do anything for the employee they only think about the managers and to protect them. Managers never have to take responsibility of their actions and they get away with everything.

Pros

Multiple projects leading to good exposure in short time

Cons

Locals are favourite of management and quickly become Managers, directors and VPs with minimal or zero technical provess. Only thing they are good at is setting unrealistic timelines and then forcing this deadlines on scientists. No matter how good you are with your experience or technical expertise, you continue at same position for years while your Icelandic coworkers climb the corporate ladder in no time. Company boasts about equal opportunities, but that’s only if you are local or boss’s favourite. Higher positions are created and filled without any advertising.
