Pros

Innovative and capable technical and operational teams. Strong product portfolio. Stable business. Good place for long-term employment if you fit the culture.

Cons

Regional management lacks vision and inspiration. Too much focus on short-term KPIs and career stability. Finances are restrictive due to mature industry. Few opportunities for non-technical employee growth. Poor work-life balance. Stumbles by on the shoulders of capable employees.

Pros

Global leader in segment, safety procedures, and values.

Cons

Recently top management is obsessed with generating profits by cutting headcount, leading to higher workloads, and then they talk about mental wellbeing. In 2026 the strategy is only to generate profits, even if it means we risk our own sales.
