Pros

Good management as well as colleagues to work with. You are given enough breathing room to think for yourself but still have enough guidance when problems emerge.

Cons

Quite a lot of pressure put on you to connect with others and create new projects from just networking. Creating new products is what is stressed mostly for good reason.

Pros

Company has a good reputation and long history and very cool products. You can buy the products with employee discount

Cons

12 years long i have worked with different managers and the one common thing is each and every manager is programmed to convince you about your inadequacy to grow and to move one step forward. They want you to do the same job for years and not ask for more. This is creating an unhappy work environment and people demotivate each other. If you are not in HR s favourite list in the first two years it means you lost your chance to become sth forever.
