Good place to start your career
Pros: * Informal hierarchy. You can talk easily with your manager or other senior staff and be transparent and honest.
* Good technical support from the team and the manager.
* Supportive and friendly atmosphere.
* Good integration and socialising events.
* Possibility of working from home on single days on request.
Cons: * To much procedures, which makes work time consuming even when you want to implement a simple change.
* Too tight specialisations, where you are not exposed for the wider technology areas. This makes it harder to see a bigger picture and understand IT infrastructure as a complete system, especially when you just start your career.
* Sometimes overloaded with tasks, as for example the day before your holiday when you need too handover your tickets to other people. Moreover the same tickets get back to you after the holiday.
* Not competitive salaries and no pay raises.
