Pros

WFO/WFH flexibility Friendly work environment Great affordable health, dental, and optical insurance A lot of days off, from start date: 3 weeks vacation, follow the NYSE or Fed Reserve holiday schedule for bank days off, sick days, personal days.

Cons

With new CEO, all regions except Germany only get raises when promoted. You can go 5-10 with no raise at all. We are a German company, and Germany gets raises automatically, telling the rest of the regions their raises are based off performance.
