Company is good to start with . Hybrid , good salary. Projects and benefits are okay

Worst HR. They try to control unnecessarily. Some team are worried more about visibilty in office rather than improving technically.

Pros

good support for initial professional development for engineers. big project opportunities. good employee benefits

Cons

experience can vary greatly between colleagues and teams, not necessarily a con but something to be mindful of, and something you’d experience at almost all other companies. scale of teams may also be a bit too big for some people’s liking, can feel a bit impersonal at times, also a lot of work with colleagues based in different offices so can feel hard to build connections at times
