Pros

* Salary and benefits are ok, but competitors do better * In-house dentist

Cons

* Your manager will control your minutes * Not a place for experienced professionals. Company do not really follow good and contemporary practices. Very old school. See first bullet for an example. * Low flexibility in terms of holidays. * Factories in the middle of nowhere. * If you have to do a business travel, expect to wait for long to receive your refunds. Suggestion: don't travel or ask cash in advance. Don't borrow your money to them. * International trips? Get ready to spend your weekend traveling.
