Pros

- Work-life balance - Flexible working arrangements for parents - Creative environment

Cons

- Poor salary progression - Limited possibilities to get promoted despite working overtime on various projects; nepotism is the primary driver of promotions and not competence - With above in mind, there is a lack of competence among most leaders in the organisation. Many of them panic if their department performs poorly during the quarter, and instead of leading the team and trying to solve it they look for people to blame - Constant reorganizations

Pros

Benefits even for part-timers is a huge win! Sick leave, vacation, and community days. Nice management and really friendly coworkers. Decent employee discount. Diverse and welcoming environment.

Cons

Very stressful work environment considering the low pay. Poorly managed and operated. They clearly try to run lean and do as much work with as few people as possible. Very unprofessional overall and a lot of greenwashing.
