          Pros

          Good location & lots of benefits. Private healthcare, pension, retail discounts, subsidised restaurant on site, mental health support

          Cons

          Not very transparent. They say they give out bonuses but haven’t had one in 3 years. They just won the Shell account which makes everyone question their values- money seems more important than doing the right thing. Other agencies refused to work with them.

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
