Pros

4 day work week . Time provided to research a topic thoroughly before taking action.

Cons

Depending on team you may be subjected to extreme micromanagement. Upper management will not take action even if they know exactly what is going wrong and will spend more time in covering their tracks and window dressing instead of tackling a problem. A totally bloated management structure starting at the bottom from US and ending in Germany. Siloed grouping by functions and anyone who tries to broaden their skillset or transfer within the company hits brick wall. The technology is antiquated and most employees are stuck because no other option.

Pros

Great benefits and company culture, frequent opportunities to interface with senior leaders and executives.

Cons

Roles and responsibilities are demanding, complex organization to understand, and requires in-office days if you are in proximity to a regional hub.

Pros

Good benefits, good amount of vacation time.

Cons

Poor middle and upper management. Although a lot of vacation time is given, you are not able to use it if you do not meet the percentage of your team. Meaning more than one person could not take time off at a time, This is a bad work place for your mental health.
