Business Outlook

Pros

Engaging work, good work life balance, and colleagues who are smart and approachable.

Cons

Quite directive, top-down hierarchy. Leadership succession not well planned, so often managers or team leads were great ICs but struggle in their leadership role. Trying to break knowledge silos, but they still exist.

Excellent company overall. Lack of work organisation in certain divisions.

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is good. Work from home (60% home max) is allowed. Many activities organized during lunch break (yoga… work out room in the facilities…) Field of work is both challenging and passioning.

Cons

This company operates with a short-term mindset, often focusing on immediate result. Certain preparation work (automation..) required to increase the productivity over time are not considered enough. Due to the company's short-term approach, there is an immense pressure to meet deadlines, despite not having the required flow and tooling in place. Management should also be trained more. Sometimes, I feel that their primary incentive is money, whereas there could be many other ways to keep people motivated, such as providing opportunities to work with cutting-edge technologies, provide proper trainings…
