Pros

Fair internal progression possibilities, if you are working on your skill set outside of the company Good flexibility regarding worktime, workplace (homebased possible) and maternal/paternal leave Fair payment

Cons

Lay of in high cost countries (E.g. Germany, UK, USA) for less specialized positions Recent office closures in high cost countries not a place to be if you are working in a back office profession (Assistent, Accountant, IT). You will sooner or later be replaced by less expensive people in India/South-Africa/Lithuania
