Pros

The company tries to do its best, at least at statement level. I can identify with most of the values and purposes it states. Working conditions are decent. ERP and systems are well developed, though far too overcomplicated. Can have 80% of time work from home office. People and teams are open and nice to work with. Company culture is mostly open and positive.

Cons

Persistently conveying corporate purposes and goals flips into propaganda. Ego-trip. Often incompetencies in the command chain; professional wise and as individual management capabilites and skills. Shareholder comes before stakeholders. FTE cuts and no replacements in order to boost cash. Catastrophic HR policy execution. No wonder turnaround is very high. Remuneration lags behind.
