Pros

Good benefits, modern facilities (way too open though)

Cons

Horrible cold environment. Sadly there is no company culture. They have an "open space" office set up where you have to sit on a different cubicle everyday supposedly to improve communication but it is actually worse. You feel isolated and not a part of the company even when a few managers do try their best in their own way.

. Agile working . Nice office . ok benefits

Cons

. There is a lot of office politics going on. If you aren't an extrovert and friendly with the right people then you won't go far. . There is a reluctance to accept new ideas . There is a lot of talk/meetings with not a lot actually happening.

Hi there, thanks for writing a review on your experience while working for us. It sounds like you found some really positives elements to your job, but also like you're not having the best experience yet and we regret hearing that. We'd like to recommend you talk to your line manager about what can be done to make your ideas heard. Thanks again for your review and for all the work you're doing for us.

Hello, first we'd like to thank you for taking the time to review our company as a current employee. It is unfortunate to hear that you've had a negative experience with your management. And we would like to recommend that you talk to your HR representative regarding this as well as the work hours. We appreciate the feedback you've given and thank you for helping us improve our services.
