Pros

Great benefits, good work life balance, great co-workers and collaborative environment.

Cons

Too much politics. Promote career growth but focus on upper management favorites. Too many unspoken rules that interfere with career growth. Upper management are hand picked but often don't have the management skills & experience.

Pros

Great culture, smart but supportive and collaborative bunch of colleagues. Generally fair treatment of employees. Super transparent and open even in most sensitive topics. Good job security. Very meritocratic. Fantastic pension (bit less so for newcomers). Surprisingly low level of bureaucracy for its size.

Cons

For long term employees a slow salary progression compared to job hoppers. Bit mad about Health and safety. Sometimes slow in making decision.
