One of the worst companies to work for!

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Slightly better pay, nice colleagues, well-known clients, a good first job for graduates. You might get a raise if you are on the same wavelength with the management.

Cons

Very inhuman management, they don't value employee potential and expect them to work over their limitation just to not lose the job, they would use threatening strategy to trick employees to be productive (which does the opposite effect). There is lack of agility and transparency from the top down and employees are overexploited and treated like numbers on their excel spreadsheet. Would only recommend as a first job to gain experience.

Business outlook

Pros

Reasonable salary... (but don't expect any kind of raise or improvement after that, negotiate when signing the contract). Some nice workmates to meet if you are lucky enough. Good office location. When you first start supervisors seem very nice and understanding, but only if you don't scratch on the surface.

Cons

Old-fashioned HR policy. Constant pressure from Sales/Management, no respect for employees' time or private life, expectations from supervisors to stay overtime on a regular basis, sometimes even on weekends to get things sorted out. Rivalry and sometimes even hostile attitudes, with personal motivations. They don't care to lose senior or skilled employees, as they think that tying up people with threats to their self-esteem makes them more productive.

Pros

Reasonably high salary for the industry

Cons

Excessive overtime, unmanageable workload, expectation of 24/7 availability, no respect for employees' time and private life. Only way to advance is "dead man's boots" or career change to sales.
