Slow moving, ruled by engineers

Pros

Decent package, lot of competent colleagues to learn from, great location, interesting field of business. Possibility to move globally within the company.

Cons

Company is very bureaucratic and oblivious to changes in consumer behavior (unless forced to change). Decisions pertaining to market activities are often based on "what internal IT systems allow" (exact quote). The bigger Excel sheet u make the better you are. Lots of people who have been there for a very long time with established internal networks making it very difficult to implement any change. My manager was a control freak who after 20+ years in the company thought he knew it all and had nothing to learn. In his opinion if something was important he would have already seen it himself.
