Pros

Flexibility in working hybrid/ remote. Good extra perks to employees compared to other large companies. Reputable company, experience working there is good for your CV in Iceland.

Cons

Sudden inexplicable mass layoffs. There was also some subtle classism/ nepotism but hard to prove.

Pros

Great people. Good workers that are competent and hardworking. Great for people looking to start off their career. Just don't plan to stay long. There is a great emphasis on cost cutting and saving money at every corner.

Cons

Currently led by a Senior leader who took over from the CEO. This leader has a reputation built by himself of doing things his way or your out. At a company event a couple years ago during a lov week he was to address half the company in the morning but did not show up until noon. There was a party the night before. That behavior got him to now lead the company employees. So sad how far Controlant has gone but I am glad I am gone. They no longer live their values.
