Not as good as it looks. Incompetent upper management
Pros
Social evenings out all paid for Good equipment and software to work with I got along well with some of the people who worked there. I was able to work freely enough to learn a lot because of high pressure but no direction It's good to have experience working for a multi-national company. It's a job and it probably won't kill you It's not a 'no definitely not', it's not like working for a horrible call centre or door to door commission only job. It's not as bad as being a car washer or human sign post, but if you have a choice...
Cons
The work/life balance is terrible. I felt like nobody had any respect whatsoever for my personal life or family life. I wasn't just afraid to take sick days, I was afraid to not work needless overtime every single day like most people there. The pay was insulting. I was told I would be getting a raise after my 3 months trial but this never happened. I had little to no guidance or management. I felt like management were very young to be given this role. Senior management would blame others for their own mistakes, publicly. They do give praise and reward when things go right. After getting past the initial facade of working there I began to feel like nobody really knew what they were doing apart from development. I found the senior executives quite dislikable and intolerable and some just clearly bully others and take advantage of being intimidating. I don't know anyone who worked there who liked it, although before people leave they'll say they adore it and were born to do this job. Very fast turnaround on staff, not just on sales but on the entire team. I suspect a few people quit but we were told they were fired to save face. But a high amount of staff in my opinion were fired for strange reasons.
