Pros

Good manager Some nice people to work with My manager provides flexibility in terms of work, not sure about other teams. Strong sense of team belonging (again, in my team, not sure about other teams as I have heard otherwise)

Cons

Rampant bullying faced by many people in the company, with a horrendous experience with the people team. The pay is terrible. If you try to speak up about the pay, they will shut you down. They will overwork you and underpay you and not compensate you for your efforts. Certain members in the people team are not capable with dealing with issues, and you would be shocked at what they can say. You end up feeling like you really have no one to turn to. I advise you to have another person in the same room during any meeting such that the tone from the HR managers can remain respectful. Multiple cases of sexual harassment in the company which were not dealt with in a promising way for the victims. It’s the company culture that really needs to change as it emboldens men to sexually harass their peers. Obvious nepotism occurring when it comes to salary increments and promotions. They like to pretend it doesn’t occur but it does.

Pros

The company is presented as a young and dynamic environment, at least from an external communication point of view.

Cons

Unfortunately, the internal reality is very different. Career progression mainly favors people who are close to management or who know how to please the right individuals, while meritocracy clearly comes second. Losing valuable employees does not seem to concern upper management at all. Many department heads lack experience and competence, which leads to constant issues, misunderstandings, and organizational problems that directly impact daily work and team morale. The company promotes itself as “young and dynamic,” yet hires employees over 60 whose experience does not appear to be properly assessed or effectively leveraged, creating a strong inconsistency between image and reality. Salaries are not competitive compared to the market. Salary increases and bonuses are very low and demotivating. Benefits are either almost non-existent or purely symbolic.
