Pros

People are friendly and approachable and a lot of teamwork and dedication (staff not company)

Cons

- Virtually no pay rise and bonus is pathetic. Also everyone gets the same so ability/ efforts are wasted. - They dont replace staff that have left and just make others absorb their work. - Zero training, oversight and support. - Because of the lack of training junior staff are useless meaning you end up doing their jobs too. Oh and don’t bother complaining because management will defend them and tell you to train them. No-one is ever fired or fails probation. - Not enough people or knowledge to run projects meaning the quality of work is poor which is frustrating. - No info from senior management and very secretive environment. Its clear the company is in trouble but they wont tell anyone what is going on. - As per other reviews yes they did announce you could no longer carry over PTO at the end of Dec when many people already had holidays booked. - Everyone is chronically stressed, crying and taking sick leave. Leaving the company felt like escaping an abusive relationship (really!), you cant leave because they need you but you also cannot cope staying there. Very sad.

Pros

Good Project Managers; interesting studies

Cons

Great acting skills required - success is determined by the part you play; huge gossip culture; team unprofessionally managed; unfair environment; substantial favouritism; management does not look after their employees, they are happy to see people leave and replace them with fresh employees, even if sites complain about the huge staff turnover; criticism of anything (even as a joke) is not recommended.

Pros

Nice colleagues who sometimes leave overnight Good benefits

Cons

Low salaries No career path People not promoted based on performance but according to how much upper management likes them Management is HORRIBLE: company does not care about their employees, tries to hide things from them (people naturally find out), covers up for very incompetent middle managers (when everybody knows about them) HR is terrible-no confidentiality kept Racist environment for well-qualified foreigners
