Pros

Relatively good salaries for payroll (1,000 Eur for interns) and a great work-life balance. There are no fixed schedules, and you manage your time as you see fit. Naturally, you must still bring in results, There seems to be a good amount of vacations ( about one month, perhaps more). There are plenty of educational / mental health workshops, and other events throughout the year: 2 PhD Exhibits and a summer festival. The canteen has budget-friendly options (3-5 Eur), but also great portions of multicultural meals for a fair price (6 - 8 Eur per meal). Great infrastructure and a pleasing natural environment within buildings. HR is also remarkably competent and reliable.

Cons

In general, team management is good, however there may be over-hiring of interns at times, thus leaving some without a desk to work at. There's desks spread across departments, but there could be more, it's too great of a place not to work at. Mechanics team was severely understaffed, and since you always require their approval it may be a hassle to deal with. IT support team has multiple faulty machines, and you may need to actively switch PCs.
