Pros

Only the parts about mental health seem important to me.

Cons

People often have to work overtime, even after the end of the workday, as they are required to stay on calls with managers. Meetings are always scheduled after the workday ends, just to make you work more, but no one compensates for the extra hours. The interviews are a joke; no matter how well you answer the questions, they frown upon it. The HR is very unprofessional, very poorly prepared. Many people are hired in IT without higher education, and if you have a completed degree, it's useless to them. They say they support you to continue and finish your studies, but in fact, when you announce that you have something to do at university, they don't like it. There are no development opportunities in this company.

Pros

Some of if not most people are friendly and supportive. Okay-ish benefits. Slightly better than the average I would say. Flexible hours for flex40 and salary people. In my particular case, they are very flexible when it comes to doctor appointments and kids' activities.

Cons

Emotional and mental damage from a toxic environment. Gossip galore and everyone is eager to point fingers or say "not my job". Managers who literally yell and curse at employees. Everyone is overworked and underappreciated. Sexism runs rampant. Communication between mangers, departments, and floor operators is non-existent. FAVORITISM EVERYWHERE! Certain people are treated differently because they are "in" with the right people in management. No one is treated equally. The machinery on the floor is old and falling apart.
