Pros

Great place for career development as well as great leadership. Your management will always have an open ear for you and listen to your ideas as well as personal career plans.

Cons

The rate at which the company is expanding and launching new products. This simply puts so much pressure on the employees that some work constantly overtime. Sadly the rate of newly hires people can't cope with this which leads to even more constant pressure. A lot of 'old' employees left the company due to this fact. Other than that the benefits could be better: Employees pay to use the car park and also other companies do offer much better benefits in various areas.
