Pros

One of the prestigious brands in the industry. A lot of things to learn. Very good training ground.

Cons

Too many things to learn but too little time as there are so many things waiting to do which gives the feeling of always catching up. From the outside, the company seems polished and impressive — thanks to excellent marketing. But internally, you can feel the strain of limited resources and unrealistic expectations. Management and long-timers behave as if the company has the capacity of a large multinational, setting ambitious standards. But when it comes to investment, manpower, or budgets, the company operates like a cost-conscious SME.
