Pros

- money - benefits (Multisport, 4 sick days, 100 days home office, Edenred, 5 weeks of holidays) - good place to stay for one year to earn some money, get experience, then run anywhere else

Cons

Limited career growth, toxic work environment, no sense of team at all, never ending bureaucracy, BPO atmosphere (everything focuses around tickets and language specifics, being a procurement professional is secondary), entry-level boring level of work The most insidious aspect of it all is that no one even looks like they care. There a few smiling "yes men", but deep down we all know no one cares at all about anything happening there and the engagement is just miserable. Management even knows, but they also don't really care, which is why nothing changes. When you give people work that honestly needs to be automated and does not challenge you intellectually at all, why should you care for anything except your paycheck?
