Pros

1. Work from home 2. Competitive benefits 3. Opportunities to be involved in projects 4. Activities (Christmas party, Oktoberfest etc.)

Cons

1. No promotions (Promotions are for friends of top management) 2. No or little recognition for top employees 3. Finger pointing if something fails instead of fixing or improving it as a team 4. Bad jokes by top management to motivate employees that actually demoralize employees 5. Managers and supervisors have no clue how to manage and motivate people (since too many first time managers who were promoted because they were friends with Directors and/ or VPs) 6. No work/ life balance 7. No bonuses 8. Too much internal politics to the point of damaging team environment 9. Management being indifferent to employees problems (acting as if everything is perfect in the heaven) 10. Vacation leave max out after 4 weeks 11. Top management and team making fun of other employees 12. Managers are rarely in their offices 13. No announcements when new people join and/ or people resign
