Pros

Really great colleagues. You are valued as a person. Many processes are still being developed, so you can contribute and take on responsibility.

Cons

Workload too high for the number of employees, salaries too low, sometimes unequal treatment and benefits even for colleagues at the same location if they belong to different business units.
