Pros

Modern and inviting cafeteria facilities. Strong colleagues across teams who genuinely work hard to make things succeed despite the challenges.

Cons

The workload is significantly high and not aligned with available resources. Limited communication and low transparency from SMT, which creates unnecessary uncertainty across the organization. Frequent strategic shifts result in a reactive environment rather than a long-term, predictable direction. Too many critical tasks rest on a small group of employees, creating a real risk of burnout and future turnover among top performers. The parent company plays an outsized role in decision-making and has absorbed the most important positions, leading to heavy, old-fashioned operational structures. The culture is dominated by a “do more with less” mindset that limits innovation and renewal. The company needs a genuine strategic reboot, not another iteration of the same old approach.
