Pros

Nice working enviroment. Having free healthy option of meal.

Cons

Securing an interview here is incredibly difficult without an established internal network. Furthermore, there is a strong impression that many publicly posted job vacancies already have an internal or pre-selected candidate assigned to them before the listing even goes live.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
