Business Outlook

Pros

Super flexible work hours, relaxed office environment, gracious food and sport offer, and most importantly smart colleagues.

Cons

In such a big office and company I'd wish for more transparency and information flow, to know what exactly other departments are doing. Proper plans that get shared face to face and not just via mail would add to a holistic understanding of the entire company, no matter what position one holds.
