Pros & Cons

The flexibility, culture, and career opportunities.
Great friendly culture at the workplace where team leaders and colleagues are always willing to assist.
Flexible working hours. Providing plenty of training.
The graduate program is structured well... It’s the best program that I have ever experienced (and know of).
It provides a supportive and inclusive environment for career progression and learning.

A lot of bureaucracy that isn't managed well.
Even for internal job applications, people are put in merit pools and go through a tedious job application process.
The pay increase from year to year could be better.
The limited team building or social activities available.
The procedural nature of every task limits the ability to work freely with creativity.
