Pros

Self-development is a constant on a daily basis, the company truly cares for you as a person and wants you to improve, by providing you all the tools you need. Great people, great atmosphere. It is a unique company in many ways: you can bring your pet to work :) you can try Mars products, we have parties and social events organized for all the associates, open office and the list goes on...

Cons

It can be a bit chaotic and messy sometimes, as this is not a sturdy, robust company rolled up in a bunch of bureaucracies and processes.
