Comfortable and Flexible

Pros

Hybrid position has a flexible schedule, quiet working environment, they have food party/ treats sometimes at the office (specially holidays as Thanksgiving) less pressure and good vacation, bonus, benefits policies.

Cons

Feel too quiet sometimes and less motivation, lots of training and changing/update in management. Less opportunity for growth and for promotion. Because the headquarter is located in Germany so you would expect to work in holidays during month-end close and get a floating day later. Only 2 days for closing so it is quite rush if you have lots of reports/ entries to do on time.
