Pros

- Free snacks and drinks in the canteen - Possibility to work extra hours to take more time off - Life insurance - Many fun events

Cons

Where to start... It took weeks before I got an ergonomic assessment, by that time the damage was already done. It took months before the A/C was serviced, half of the team (including me) was feeling sick and having breathing difficulties. No, instead of caring about employee well being management is very busy blaming employees for being sick on purpose, forcing to sign unlawful contracts and literally screaming in your ear if you refuse to do so. Also you're automatically expected to work on bank holidays even though this makes no sense whatsoever, the strict working hours don't make any sense for the job either. But when you request a day (or few hours) off they're 'too busy'. Pay is way below average, benefits are useless, severe lack of parking spaces and no decent canteen. I now know why everybody is forced to take life insurance.

Pros

Great company and good employees

Cons

This is one of the worst places I have ever worked. They do not care about their employees here; to them, you are just another number. They get upset when you use your sick days, even though they are a legal right, and then retaliate against you by punishing you when you return to work. And be careful about filing a complaint with Human Resources because they are two-faced. Instead of helping you, it often ends up backfiring on you. That is why no one feels comfortable going to them. This company does not appreciate or value its employees unless you have connections or favoritism. Management, starting from the top, has no clear direction. Everything constantly changes, even when it is not the best option, simply because someone higher up decided it. The environment feels outdated and authoritarian, like something from another era. There is a lot of hypocrisy, resentment, and abuse of power.
