Pros

The workplace is quite comfortable and nice. Working times are very flexible (if needed).

Cons

Very slow career progress with limited chances for promotion (which is the only way to increase your salary). Limited amount of fields to work in. Below-average salaries in the region. External training is very tightly budgeted on an immediate-need-only basis. Senior managers are very harsh and pushy. Frequent fluctuations in tasks to do (sometimes too many things at once, often nothing to do).

Advice to Management

More chances for lateral movements would be good. The workload is extremely uneven, possibly due to bad management. Management lays blame for the uneven workload on the employees. It is your responsibility to come up with assignments for the time reports. If you cannot come up with anything due to a low workload, you will be shouted at.
