Pros

The only pros are the cafeteria, decent coffee and good benefits. These pros, however, do not even begin to outweigh the cons.

Cons

Where can I start? The management (and HR) is extremely corrupt and the building consists of the worst office politics I have seen anywhere. The training is nonexistent and most of the people within the company are there to bring you down, not build you up (Asking for help is a sign of weakness). Run as fast as you can from this company!

Pros

The company invests heavily in systems that facilitate the needed work and the company itself is well established and is strong in the industry.

Cons

Leadership culture feels highly political, with too much focus on hierarchy and personal advancement rather than supporting teams. Employees in junior and mid-level roles often feel overlooked and undervalued. There is strong pressure to deliver numbers, but limited attention given to employee wellbeing, fairness, or ethical decision-making. This creates a stressful and toxic work environment with low morale.
