Pros
- Atmosphere is chill, or better, it looks chill because you're naive and unaware of the backstabbing behind the scenes; don't be fooled - The younger workers (anyone there from roughly 2014/2015) are mostly cool and I still hang around with some of them, unlike the "core" mgm that has been there since forever - Experience started out ok, progressively went south; company's now headed into the wrong direction
Cons
- Salary is miserable, even when compared to the avg salaries in the same location, level and sector - They love to talk a lot about having a startup mentality, while they're at the polar opposite (=corporate bs) - if you actually have been in startups, don't be fooled by their claim, you won't find anything similar here - They also love to talk a lot about integrity, while backstabbing behind the scenes you won't be aware of until it's too late happens regularly (and of course if you point this out then you're the toxic element, not them) - If you're not in senior mgm, the moment you have an idea or opinion of your own, you're fired; you read that correctly, it's not just going to be ignored, it's going to get you fired. No matter if it was good and something that increased productivity. Again: polar opposite of a startup. Pure corporate bs - The hiring trend I've seen from about 2016 on seems to have shifted to finding more passive, mellow, meek employees who will just follow instructions and kiss senior management's butts, and pay them a miserable salary for as long as possible (if they start to look ambitious it's just easier to fire them and find a new passive college grad to instruct). If you fit that profile, enjoy. If it sounds like the definition of slavery, you might have a point. There's just one person in mgm trying to fight this trend, but with little success - that also adds to the confusion, since you constantly receive mixed messages about how you should behave. I wonder why that person still works there, since it's obvious they don't actually care about what that person thinks.
