Multinational company with a lot of pros and a few downsides
Pros: - Decent salary
- Awesome online training with certificates 
- Management really close, flat hierarchy
- Employee participation (e.g. ideas for improvement) is wished 
- Up to 2 days of home office
- Good benefits
- Generally no overtime allowed
Cons: - Office equipment: Old chairs, not adjustable desks, tiny spaces, open space office but no separation at all, not enough wardrobes
- No flex-time. Fixed working hours. Flexible when it comes to appointments e.g. doctor appointments to shift working hours and make up for the time missed, but generally no flexibility. 
- Reports: Employees are required to complete a lot of reports about work time and task completed. Really confusing, annoying and time consuming.
- Opportunities to grow are restricted: You are not allowed to do certain tasks until achieving a certain position or level even though you feel comfortable doing it. This really restricts employee growth and might cause the employees to feel bored.
- No canteen
- Compared to other companies in the area the office is just functional and not very modern
