Pros
Flexible working arrangements (apart from monitoring everything you do, every minute of every day)
Cons
Disgusting corporate culture. A cornucopia of labour law violations, refusing to pay in accordance with the BCEA for working over time or public holidays, Sundays etc. Management reminds staff that they are disposable as "there is a high unemployment rate in SA". They hire people for as little as possible and have even boasted in the media about how their margins are so high because the south africans are willing to work for so little. It's favours for friends, even when it is so obvious to everyone. There is no shame or accountability. A particularly creepy member of HR walks around making inappropriate comments to woman and high fives and laughs about it afterwards. He also spies on everyone by pretending to chat to people but actually feeds everything back to management. The computers we are given are so old they barely work. For a tech company, most people working there are tech illiterate. I felt unappreciated, undervalued, and treated like I wasn't a person with my own life and feelings. I could never in good faith tell someone to work there and would tell anyone there now to get out while you can. I have been in corporate on many continents in my life and this is something I have never seen before. So unprofessional and crooked - literally making mo ey off paying people so low and overcharging clients.
