Pros

Great Team

  • Free breakfast and lunch, cheap dinner
  • Challenging tasks (no "stupid" intern tasks)
  • Healthy company culture
  • No overtime
  • Smart colleagues, there is a lot to learn there
Cons

Really big, open-space office (one floor for the whole department).

Team structure and process were not clear from the start.

Advice to Management

Try to keep meetings limited, especially when the whole project team is involved but the content does not concern everybody.
