Pros

Easy to travel to - NOTHING ELSE

Cons

1. Toxic workplace - the whole workplace is based on this idea of „image” not even performance. A lot of gossip culture as well as high levels of disrespect from management and higherups in general. Everyone follows the lead, and it is like a herd of sheep. Management themselves seem to encourage a gossip culture which is a shame and unprofessional. 2. No clear training - training is left 99% of the time for you to do individually, and when you ask for help everyone ends up to too busy and says that that cannot dedicate a lot of time to you individually. 3. No clear targets or progression - when you are assigned roles, they can get reassigned so if you’ve worked on something for over a week and are 90% of the way there, it can get reassigned and another member of the team can take all the credit which then leads to others complaining about your performance and makes no sense at all! Also getting any sort of promotion is dependent on „business growth” rather than your personal wins, which is something that is heavily emphasised when you first join - you can get promoted in the first 6 months, and then it’s oh it’s based on business? Bunch of lies and a waste of time. 4. High turnover rate - from engineers, business managers to recruiters, there is an extremely high turnover rate across the board and that is for a reason (mostly the ones above). The way this company works at times feels almost unethical and as though they are using employees and potential candidates.

Pros

- great colleagues, all young (lots of trauma bonding, so you'll make friends easily!!) - regular meetings with your manager - if you have no hobbies, no purpose and no desire to do anything of your free time, this job is for you ;)

Cons

- the management. Good luck. - they hire fresh graduates or young professionals with little work experience and make them believe it is normal to be overworked, so many colleagues went on burnout, cried in toilets etc.. - terrible onboarding. takes months to be autonomous as a result. - TOXIC TOXIC TOXIC. Especially engineering division. - I was told i cant possibly be tired because i wasn't working 80 hours a week... The contract says 40h/week (you'll probably get fired if you stick to 40 hours a week ahahah) - the kind of place where you need to be in at 8:30am and if the director catches you going home at 18h30 he will ask if you took the afternoon off.. (so if you like feeling sooooo guilty for following your work hours AND doing overtime —but not enough, then this is the place for you!)

Pros

None at all that I can think of.

Cons

They will give you the run around. I had like 7 rounds of interviews and at the end they decided to suspend the position. Complete wast of time. They are unsure of themselves and what the company needs.
