Pros
Overall there are opportunities for the right people. If you work hard and are prepared to sacrifice a lot, you can move up. All roles involve a lot of responsibility and it’s a great learning curve.
People are great generally, you’ll make friends for life.
Cons
The “cheap” mentality is everywhere and is a factor you cannot easily ignore. Yes the start up mentality is great to a certain extent, but when you grow to become a multinational company serving luxury clients, this needs to change.
People should not suffer as a result, first and foremost. The HQ is in a grade “Z” building, with cockroaches, malfunctioning elevators, no parking and blue collar workers. You wouldn’t bring your clients here. Medical insurance is miserable, no better than the lowest paid worker on a construction site. There is serious interference with office operations and on office spending to an unreasonable degree from people who should not have any influence on this.
