Pros

A generally positive atmosphere and people with various professional and personal backgrounds. Easy to interact and make good networking if you are strong in this area. Average salary, standard benefits and really great office environment. The company is trying to invest more in people and their well-being. Interesting business in general.

Cons

Messy processes (or even no processes at all), heavy workload and no real set of priorities just flow with the river, but you never know what will happen the next day if you do things differently or according to the simple logic. Although speak-up culture is very well defined and highlighted if you try to apply it you may be in a difficult situation - conversations are very often emotionally driven and not based on facts. Lack of trust and a high level of frustration, moreover, everything is over-controlled - even the control has its own control process and anything might be suspicious by default... Basic level of IT infrastructure which does not make your life easier. So all-in-all I had an interesting few months here and learnt few lessons..
