Pros

The company has an informal culture with the potential to become a great organization. - Both offices offer free food and drinks. Although it is mentioned that free lunch and fruit is offered, in reality employees have breakfast, lunch and even have access to delivered dinner. And if you don't feel like the lunch matches your taste; just have lunch somewhere else and keep the receipt to get reimbursed. - Weekly bootcamp and yoga is offered - Free drinks on Friday - Informal culture - Pet friendly; you are allowed to bring your dog to the office. So if you are allergic to dogs, be aware of this.

Cons

- Indecisiveness and lack of communication from management. - Being too woke can result into oversensitivity. While it’s not my place to determine who has the more difficult struggle, admittedly when people are running around crying “discrimination” it can be easy to lose sight of what actual injustice looks like. - Speaking up is not always valued, participation in decision-making not welcome and don’t even think about suggesting the right to vote out regarding issues that have a direct influence on your work. - Clearly suffers from nepotism. Every once in a while management hires their ex-coworkers for positions they are not necessarily suitable for. Growth opportunities seem to be possible for them, yet growth opportunities for existing employees seem limited. - Responding time to internal issues and priorities are uneveven cross departments. - Uneven balance of right amount of employees; some departments desperately need more staff while other departments have more staff than the workload. - Personal growth is not appreciated in all departments. - Tech department is prioritized over innovation, ambition and creativity.

Pros

Excellent colleagues and strong culture. Exciting work. No two days are the same. Progressive and innovative. The best onboarding for new employees. Good processes in place for most departments.

Cons

Decisions can take some time. Committee work can be grueling, on top of your regular responsibilities. Sometimes too many standard operating processes in some areas and lacking in others.
