Pros

There are opportunities for growth for right people, however at a cost of giving up on your family and private life. Global company with multiple locations, so there are opportunities to travel. There are opportunities to learn if you are self-motivated and determined.

Cons

Lack of structure Lack of controls and procedures Performance not measured according to set standards Pay inequality Very poor communication between departments, internally and externally Very high turnover of staff No work life balance Overtime hours worked not paid Lack of support from HR department Hire and fire culture Role responsibilities are not clearly defined Culture of blame, lack of integrity No concern for employees' well being Bullying is widespread, tolerated and accepted, even at higher levels Micromanagement style coming from the top leaders

Awful Place to work - Finance Team

Pros

You can get great experience working here but at a hell of a cost. Fellow employees were great.

Cons

You sell your soul if you have to work here. Working week of about 70 hours is not unusual. Zero work/life balance. No consideration for the fact that people have personal lives. I would not recommend that anyone works here.

Pros

Flexibility, company's performance overall, family feel, entepreneurial, quick to execute, relaxed workwear, annual conferences, people

Cons

too much gossiping, individual performance is not valued as much as behaving in a way to please others, not fair to people - as a result many leaving, poor career progression management, corridor conversations make someone's reputation, hiding from unpleasant reality
