Pros
- Long-term colleagues were nice, understood what was really going on - Canteen for breakfast/lunch/snacks - Good job for early starters, looks good on the CV - Benefits were decent
Cons
- You're not getting anywhere unless you're one of the favourites. Opportunities and advancements repeatedly handed out to the same handful of people in a 30-man team. - Team Leaders and Managers often too young, arrogant and inexperienced. Will try to micromanage everything their team does. - Department as a whole is only concerned with work by stats/numbers. No real understanding or appreciation of staff effort if their stats aren't 100% perfect. - Too much pressure to live up to company's 'reputation' standards. Staff are underpaid and overworked. - Department very reluctant to let anyone have any time off due to language cover. You will often have to book your time off several months in advance, and if you call in sick, TLs will harass and hound you until you come back into work. - Company hides behind a facade of being 'modern' and 'intuitive' and 'not like other big companies'. Don't buy into it so easily.
