Pros

Prestigious company Several benefits like food canteen, stock actions, pension plan, hot desk and hybrid working mode.

Cons

Depending on the project, technologies and processes can be very old and cumbersome. The internal promotion process is rather long during up to 6 months to officially change your position. It can be very difficult to develop a career and the salaries arent according to the market.

We continuously monitor market and industry trends and best practices to ensure we remain progressive in our approach to offering holistic programs. Our market is highly regulated.

Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is better than most.

Cons

They care more about forcing efficiency measures than solving root problems. They want to enact "morale boost" events but refuse to ask why we were unhappy. This year they decided to devalue our pay and our efforts by giving everyone a static 2% raise
