Pros

Well-known and established company. The target bonus is respectable. Private health insurance is solid, and the mental health support program is a valuable addition. The on-site restaurant is also a nice perk.

Cons

No flexibility for remote work. After the acquisition of BETA CAE Systems, several previously promised benefits no longer seem to apply. There's also a noticeable disparity in salary progression between employees promoted before and after the acquisition. Additionally, interdepartmental dynamics can sometimes be toxic.
