Pros

Great collaborative team, opportunities to learn but not to grow.

Cons

Even if you are Senior or a professional with more than 10 years of experience, you start with 3 weeks of paid vacation. It takes 10 long years to get another week and 20 years to get the top 5 weeks. No real diversity and inclusion. The executives and seniors promote and talk about it however the org chart shows a totally different story and that's the reality. There is no opportunity to grow. After years of effort you don't get a promotion, it is just a foggy career path, unless you have connections or relatives to pull you up. Ex-employees from this company are now working with competitors, getting senior positions in shorter time frame and getting more benefits compare to here.
