Pros

Very good salaries and benefits

Cons

I agree with the other reviews -- if you went to grad school or have any creativity, innovation or just the least bit sense of pride in accomplishing anything, then this is not the place for you. There is little to no accountability, abuse of staff and a dictatorship vibe (do as you are told and be happy to be here).

Pros

Great multicultural environment with people from all over the world, which creates a very enriching and inclusive atmosphere. Everyone is punctual and colleagues are very chill and easy to work with. The diversity of backgrounds makes collaboration genuinely enjoyable.

Cons

Very resistant to change and innovation. The organization tends to stick to old processes and is reluctant to adopt new technologies or modern approaches. Progress and improvements move extremely slowly, which can be frustrating for those looking to make an impact. its also unpaid which sucks
