Pros

- I was allowed to learn IT tools and change my career path completely for a better future - My boss is great and gives me maximum freedom - 30 days of holiday - Yearly bonus payout - Inflation money was distributed to all employees - Sabbatical upon request - Possibility to work remotely, including up to 6 weeks per year abroad (but not everywhere)

Cons

- Underpaid since 8 years, I keep seeing colleagues with less experience and results getting paid the same as me - Too many meetings. How do people get anything done? - Very corporate: 'last but not least' :D - No budget for IT specialist outside of the IT department (citizen developers). I don't have a proper backup for crucial IT operations, if I want a promotion I will have to start doing projects instead of IT...
