Great company to work for, some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The work is varied and challenging, lots of different roles and opportunities. The Dynamic Working policy works how it should do, and there is proper worklife balance. It is a very family friendly place to work.

Cons

On-boarding takes a little while, although this is to be expected for a larger company.

Very supportive international company that still has a community-feel. The work is complex and can be demanding but there are plenty of opportunities for those who seek them and are willing to develop. In my experience, new ideas and innovation is recognised and supported.
