A nice and friendly place to work in, with a lot of good people, with a special culture, with all-arround values, closely resembling general human values which makes it very easy to integrate many people.

Cons

Sometimes a very large company has it's moments of inertia, things don't always move quickly or easily, which can be frustrating at times for one individual or another.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
