Pros

Supportive colleagues and a collaborative environment; many employees mention good camaraderie and respectful teams. Flexible working and decent work-life balance, depending on the team and project load. Employee-owned culture and a general emphasis on ethics, quality, and long-term thinking.

Cons

Communication from leadership can sometimes feel limited or top-down, which creates uncertainty around decisions and future opportunities. Work allocation and internal networking can be uneven, with some teams feeling siloed and opportunities not always easy to access. Compensation and bonuses may feel less competitive relative to workload or performance expectations.
